Identity cards

Just for the record ...

Sophie lost her first tooth on 12th November

Christmas 2011

After the travel chaos of last year, this time around we decided to stay in Norway for Christmas.  We filled the fridge and cupboards with food and drink (... first ever 600 quid shop!) to supplement the festive chocs, puddings, cakes and other treats already sent over from the UK from Jo's mum (... thanks Nana!) and settled in for a restful few days.  Needless to say Sophie and Matthew had a great time unwrapping their teetering piles of pressies as these pics show.

Matthew Starts School

Here he is hoping to strike up a conversation that involves a "duck" or "car".

Proofs

Can't resist sharing the proofs of these pics taken in the summer.  I know Aunty Nikki will like them!

Dress up day

Sophie loves the new climbing equipment at school.  She has played on it after school every day since the start of term.  This was on dress up day.

Soma Gård in the rain

The British School arranged a trip to this open farm on the edge of town today.  Needless to say it bucketed down.  However a big BBQ was lit, lots of cakes came out and the kids all had fun, especially swinging from the ropes in the hay barn.  Here's Matthew pretending to be a fireman.
