First Sunday
And the first day of december. And Samuel is 3 months young, yay!!!
Generally, we are not too much prepared for Christmas, like other years. But we found four candles and lit one, Greta got a Lego friends advent calendar, and we have been to town on the Christmas/related event for children. So Christmas will be this year also! And yes, we even started writing addresses on our Christmas cards, which is real good!

This time of year
When you make lists of people you want to send Christmas card to, hoping not to forget anybody. Maybe I should make one list and use it year after year?

The birthday celebration
Last year at this dates we went to the forest and there were no snow, we actually was going to have Greta's birthday party outside. There was no doubt this year, we actually got some new snow in the last couple of days. But is getting wasmer, so the spring will finally come. Eventually.
But this post is not about complaining. It is about the day today, the berthday celebration for our BIG girl now. Because she says she is 9, not four. :-)
She got our presents yesterday already, but was so lucky to get the presents from both pairs of her grandparents today. Since we get up early, and it was still to early to start the preparations, we spent the morning reading books on the sofa and eating popcorn for breakfast :-)
So we started the day with unpacking the presents and getting prepared for the party. The grandparents are always very nice with the presents, and send some cute clothes Greta just loves (the trick is that the clothing has to have either cats or hearts, or both). The doll was also quite a surprise for Greta. The Spanish grandparents sent us a present that will be lovely for the next carnival season - the flamenco costume
It is a lot of work to prepare to receive many 4-5 year old kids at your home, so I was a bit freaking out. I must admit the beginning was just crazy, nothing looked like it was going to stick to our plan, but suddenly I even had a moment to relax and grab a piece of food, too.
I am glad I did not bake the cake, because I just could not. Went for the simple solution and bought the best cheesecake they had. No wonder there is no left.
We started by handing two big pizza doughs to the kids, and the toppings, so they made pizzas. But nobody of them wanted to eat them... Thew wanted sausages. Ok, the parents loved the pizza, though.
Greta loved opening her presents, and I must say she got realy good ones, too. We appreciate the effort.
After the party it took a while until everybody left, but it was also nice to sit and chat with the parents while the kids seemed to have fun.
(I even felt so relaxed I started missing the starbucks coffee - so I made a cup with vanilla whipped cream. Yummy!)
When everybody left, Greta just had to try on the flamenco dress, and had hun dancing.
Great! Take a look how wonderfully we spent time today.
Why not start the day with the popcorn?
Greta it trying on her new dress from the grandparents.
And opening the present from Spain.
Waiting impatiently for the cake.

Did you have a good day today?

Not just a usual Monday
Besides from being out usual stay-at-home Monday, today was a bit special. Today is 6 years since my husband and I are married. 6 years of marriage.
A lot of things happened during this time, but I am especially glad for having this child being in our lives every day.
Santiago was at work today, we were at home enjoying our summer day - ice cream with incredibly good homemade magic chocolate shell topping (the one that hardens on top of the ice cream! check out this recipe), some sea-buckthorn lemonade (!), fruits from the garden, playing picnic on the floor and picking flowers from the garden lawn. Tomorrow is the start of a short (2 days only) working week for me.
