Christmas eve 2008

In Norway we celebrate Christmas eve and not Christmas day which Gunnar found a bit odd. Gunnar is staying with farmor/mormor and farfar/morfar as an exchange student this year, to see and learn the language from were his Dad's from (uncle Fred).

Everybody is ready for the big dinner - pinnekjott (dried and salted sheep meat)! Because of the younger kids, dinner was served in the kitchen this year! Cheers everybody!

The kids are really taking after both the Australian and Norwegian genes ....chewing bones is a big favorite!
After the dinner we finally got to the presents. The kids had been waiting a looong time!! In the background the nice christmas-tree that we shopped ourselves and the kids decorated!

Gunnar too was very eager to get to the presents too!

Then it was time to play with all the new toys! Gunnar helped the kids get going. (Mom got a new camera, but why did this picture get so yellow? Have to start reading the instructionbook I think!) While the kids were playing, we enjoyed our cakes and coffee!
