Christmas hysteria, Saint Lucia and finally disease...

The closer to Christmas it gets the crazier our lives seems to be... At work it's the busiest time of the year, at daycare it's all kind of activities like pottering evening and Saint Lucia celebration, at home it looks like a bomb struck and in the middle of this chaos we're suppose to get into the Christmas spirit... And H and me communicates more by SMS than actually talking to each other and when we finally think we're going to have a moment together after the girls fall asleep we're to exhausted to say anything... Friday evening I fell asleep around 8:30 pm... But hey, one week to go and then we're off for two whole weeks!

And even if I'm complaining about the girls daycare activities it is cozy and beautiful watching them at the Saint Lucia celebration:

 Lovisa insisted on being Lucia while Andréa wanted to be a Santa...

It strikes me again and again how fast they grow up and the other day I discovered that Lovisa actually writes her own name now... 

 She even got the S right...

We were visiting good friends yesterday and I was bragging about how healthy the girls have been all fall and of course after that Lovisa fell sick with high fever and an aching body... At least she had the energy to celebrate 3rd of Advent with me while H and Andréa attended a birthdayparty...

Ricepudding is yummy!

And I found some yeast in the fridge that I needed to use so I baked some more Saffron bread...


Now I just have to write 12 Christmas cards before I can go to sleep... Better get started...
