I love living in Sweden and celebrating Christmas because we get double the fun as we get to celebrate it Swedish style on the 24th, and then again American style when we wake up on the 25th. Santa came and delivered presents on the 24th and the kids just loved every minute of it! Each time he'd give out a present, they'd run up and give him a hug.
After a nice relaxing evening, we came home, layed out cookies and a carrot (for Rudolf), and hurried to bed so Santa could come again. The kids were so excited the next day when they had even more presents! :)
I think the best part about Christmas was teaching the kids the importance of GIVING and not only RECEIVING. We tried to focus on that and it was fun to see the kids get excited about it.
Anyway, hope all had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year!

Looks like you guys had a great Christmas. My kids sure enjoyed watching the slideshow of their cousins - cute pictures! McKenzie felt a little sad through all the pictures of Santa though, and said, "I wish WE lived in Sweden so we could hang out with Santa on Christmas Eve. And, we'd get our presents early, too." I love the fact that he was in shorts!
What a fun Christmas. Thanks for sharing the cute pictures. I love Sophia's doll house. The ice skating looks like such fun.
love you!
