As usual we went to Sweden for Christmas staying at Amma and Afi's place. My aunt Linda and my uncle Steinni and aunt Lisa were there along with my cousins Amanda, Emma and Jakob. And I can't forget Depill the dog and his brother, Bamse.
We were lucky to get away because the day after we left it was chaos at Heathrow and other UK airports with thousands of passengers stranded as flight after flight was cancelled due to the heavy snowfalls and adverse weather conditions. As it was, we were delayed four hours because the plane coming from Gothenberg was late taking-off because of the snow in Sweden that morning. But we eventually got underway and after the two-hour flight we landed at Landvetter Airport where Amma was waiting to meet us. With all the snow it was definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
Of course I couldn't wait to get out and about and go on sled rides and build a snowman but as usual I got a bad cold and had to stay in for a few days. But that was ok because I had lots to do to get ready for "Jul" as they call it in Sweden, including decorating the tree and making a gingerbread house.It was lovely to meet my cousins and my aunts and uncles. I got so many nice presents but the best thing was just to spend time with Amma and Afi, Depill and my auntie Linda. My auntie Linda is really, really nice, she watched my Timmy Time and Disney movies with me. I really hope she can come on holiday with me this summer.
It was great fun to go outside and ride on my sled through the deep snow - and to build a snowman. It was very, very cold though. I don't think it ever got above -10 for the entire three weeks we were there - but you just dress warm and it is no problem. Depill loved going for walks - although he had to jump so much because he only has little legs.
