I think I may have been a good girl this year..

...Because I received so many presents from my lovelies. Here are a few of them:

An animal printed scarf from the Mister

A second scarf from the Mister

Lovely candles. I love love candles so these were a big hit.

I also got a gift card to a spa treatment which I'm really looking forward too and plus a little something something that I'll blog about later. I really do feel lucky and a tad bit guilty about receiving so many gifts. I do think we spend too much money on Christmas presents, but every year is the same. I try, but I never seem to think about the price when I'm doing my Christmas shopping. Perhaps next year.

Christmas Party

A small gathering with Christmas food, music and lovely company to kick off the festive season.

We organized a little make-your-own-Santa competition and it was funny to see how people really took it serious :-) The result was amazing. Very talented and creative people indeed.

And the winner with this unique contribution...

was the lovely Arna:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

It's been a hectic week. Preparing for Christmas is not easy with the little one, especially Christmas shopping. I've been running around like crazy the last couple of days buying the presents I didn't get hold of in London. I needed it done as I had to send it off with my hubby's parents who have been staying with us for the last couple of days. Luckily I managed to get a couple of hours by myself on Friday, which helped me reach my goal.

The weekend has been lovely with some quality family time. Hubby's niece came along with his parents. She's a sweet child. However I did get a glimpse on how it feels like having two kids. Not sure I want to go there...

Christmas party

Last weekend we were invited to Stavanger by my hubby's company to attend their two-day Christmas event. I was a bit hesitant as I knew logistics would be difficult with a kid. However my worries was a waste of time as it all went pretty smoothly. We stayed at a hotel the whole weekend and our very own babysitters (hubby's sister and boyfriend) stayed in a room next to us. I'm so proud of the little one for being an angel (or so I was told). And the flight back and forth was a piece of cake. Maybe he too has caught the travel bug...
