Otelia was 5 years!! Great party today!

Today was Otelia 5 years, she celebrated the day with family and friends - many friends at home in the garden. She received many nice gifts, which were opened after the party was over, and in the meantime there was much ado and great fun with friends. Jumping castle was frequently used, and arts & crafts, as Veronica had designed, was very popular, everyone was making their own designed wooden bag, which they brought home. A lot of good food and drinks, hot dogs and cupcakes, chocolate cake, spsielt designed by Veronika, and grandmother. Grandmother had made the baked Birthday cake, it was great. The adults also enjoyed the summer heat, from 25 degrees in the morning to many more throughout the afternoon. Stephen's chili was great! Nora and Henry were guests all day. Finally, we had grilled salmon fillet for dinner - delicious!


I dag var Otelia 5 år, hun feiret dagen med familie og venner - mange venner hjemme i hagen. Hun fikk mange fine gaver, som ble åpnet etter at partyet var over, og i mellomtiden var det stor ståhei og mye moro sammen med venner. Hoppeslottet var flittig i bruk, og arts & Crafts, som Veronika hadde laget til var svært populært, alle fikk lage seg sin egen designet bag i tre, som de fikk med seg hjem. Mye god mat og drikke var det også, hotdogs og cupcakes, sjokoladekake, spsielt designet av Veronika, og mormor. Mormor hadde også bakt selve Birthdaykaken, den var kjempegod. De voksne trivdes også i sommervarmen, fra 25 grader på morgenen til mange fler utover ettermiddagen. Stephen's chili var topp! Nora og Henry var gjester hele dagen. Tilslutt hadde vi grillet laksefilet til middag - kjempegodt!

The holidays are here! California - great place in the winter.

We are finally here - the flight over from Europe went fine with Lufthansa, and it was a good choice to take a direct flight from Frankfurt. It went faster than expected, and when we arrived in Los Angeles, Veronica, Joseph and Otelia were greeting us at the airport  - we got us quickly back to Burbank. It's fun to be back here, and now we can celebrate Otelia's 5 year Birthday, and Haloween, we will travel to San Francisco and have some days with Liecel & Matt and his family. We have visited The school here in Burbank, and there has been many activities in connection with Haloween, the neighbors had a party last night, with the carving of pumpkins. Grandmother baking and make cakes, we'll fix the garden furniture, everything is ok in a summer vacation in the winter! Tomorrow Otelia turns 5, and it is going to be a great day!

This weekend we visited Emil and family in Bodø, a lot of activities...

This weekend we went to visit Emil and his family. We started with a party in kindergarten, (job for Emil), and there was much singing and music, with the kids, and coffee with cakes.  Then Saturday it was the distribution of 4 yrs book in Rønvik Church, where Emil got his book, and while we participated in baptism - Elvira were baptized during family worship. Then after, Emil really wanted to go skiing, and he did, just before the snow disappeared in the rain, in front of the house on green grass and a little snow!
