A lovely Christmas Eve spent with Family..

Rested a few days ..and then Petra and her boyfriend Jimmy came...

( no rest..lol) 

and then it was time for the BIG Wii- Contest ...

New games that Viktor had in Santas sack...

Wii Party and Slap shot was played to everyones amusement!

A few more into the games than others..lol...

Then one evening..something "exciting" happened... 

lots of noices...like an engine... and lights all over the farm house...

(And I mean this.. my Mum and Dad lives out in the nowhere.. 

no lights at all.. no other houses... just alone...

so the light show and the sounds were a bit odd...:o)

we all rushed out in -25C  (-13F) no outer clothing ... and gosh.. 

a helicopter was hoovering all over the place...

-what I thought.. bankrobbers... the police... ???

(too many movies I think...;o)

But a helicopter it was.. and it emergency landed right there on the farm..

big eyes from Viktor!!!

So out in the cold with camera!!! ;o)

and more photos in the morning..:o))

This is the talk of this years Christmas... :o)

Had one day out.. otherwise we were mostly inside...

by the fire and played games and just had 

a very nice time with family!!!

So nice to catch up with oldest daughter a bit...

today she is traveling back to the south of Sweden again... :o(

*...New Year...*

a little calf was to be born... so the cow needed to be looked for.

We melted tin this year too... 

and prophesied how the new year would be...

A bit of fun..
