Today we finally got our Christmas tree! Most people in Norway seem to wait until around this time to get their tree, so we were not the last ones. There are plenty of gas stations with trees for sale in their parking lots, but we wanted to get ours from a local farm (as we did last year). Fortunately there is a farm just across the road from where we live!
Rhiannon's best friend Sofie and Tryfan's best friend Johanne came over to our house with their Daddy first, and then after some inside playing we walked over to the farm. We pulled the little kids in sleds. Here are Tryfan and Johanne sharing a pulk as we were getting ready to go.
They are so cute together since they have matching snowsuits! Here they are in front of a tractor at the farm.
The afternoon turned a bit chaotic after this photo was taken... the little ones were ready for naps, the big kids wanted to go for a ride in the sleigh pulled by a horse but there were many people waiting in line before we could go, we all forgot to bring money, and it was cold and snowing! So I ended up walking home with Tryfan and Johanne and putting them to sleep in Tryfan's bed while the Daddies rode on a horse-drawn sleigh to find Christmas trees in the forest. Anyway, we got a lovely tree in the end and eventually the day finished. Some days are a struggle. But tomorrow... we are going to Sweden! We are really excited because none of us have ever been there so we are staying at a hotel downtown Gothenburg for one night. Yay!
