Julen 2014












Julen var stillsam och fridfull. Men det var roligt ändå!

Christmas Parties in the Elementary schools


 Anja in her 2nd grade classroom. They had pajama day and celebrated
Little House on the Prairie. They have read the books this year in her class.

 Julia had pajama day, too.
This is her Kindergarten class.


And finally I was able to attend one of Elinas parties.
This is her 5th grade class.

December tornado

 No filter.


Lucia 2014 -- Scandinavian Club Julbord

 Här väntas det innan framträdandet.


 Stjärngossarna Isak, Christian, Daniel och Benjamin.

 Tomtarna Jonathan och Max.


 Tog emot publiken jubel efteråt.
 Och fick mat som belöning!


December Piano Recital 2014

Here are all the participants in the recital.
Teacher Alethia Broderick in the center back row.

HERE is a video. 

Elina 5th grade All-City choir concert

HERE is a video.
Again, I could not zoom.
 All the 5th graders in Norman gathered for a concert at OUs Lloyd Noble Center.
Elina sat right under the A in Lakeview.
They hung the banners way too low this year. 




Thanksgiving break 2014

 We went to Dallas and hung out with Jim and his kids for a few days.
Eliot came with us to IKEA while Isak stayed behind and played with Merritt.



 Later that week, Jim and the kids came up and stayed with us,
but for Thanksgiving day itself we were alone.
It was the simplest of all Thanksgiving dinners,
but everyone was happy.

 We also went to the zoo. Actually, Isak stayed home because he is cool like that.
But the girls and I went.





Snow in November 2014

 Unprecedented in Oklahoma?
A snowday in November!




 Elina clearly wants to ski!
