Lucia
Last Sunday, SWEA had their annual Swedish Christmas Bazaar. As a part of the celebration, there was a Lucia procession. Sandra - tall, blond, and beautiful - was everything a Lucia should be.
Lucia Trick 1 - Walk straight. Follow the person ahead of you.
I wonder what to make of the fact that the best pictures of me are the ones where you see the least of my face.
Lucia trick 2 - Make sure the glitter head ring is not too big. It might suddenly fall down your forehead.
Lucia Trick 3 - Make sure the tomteluva is not too big. It might suddenly fall down your forehead.
Anna played the flute beautifully, accompanying a Norwegian girl singing "Gläns över sjö och strand" (who didn't make the picture since we don't know her).
Over and done - time to walk out. No one was happier about that than Sandra who couln't wait o get the heavy and uncomfortable Lucia crown taken off.
Me again - a nose and hair.
Daniel and Martin.

Russell's B-Day
Last Saturday, we were invited to Russell's Birthday Party. (Russell is married to Sandra - Sandra is from Trelleborg and knows Anna - whom I found through the Scandinavian Language Group). Anyway. The party was great, with lots of nice people and good food. Here are some pictures. For some reason I only have pictures of a third of the people there, and almost only Swedes. Sorry about that.
As usual, people didn't really have read eyes. It's just me that forgot to press that damn anti-red-eyes button.

No one look in the camera now, ok? Yeah, like that! Perfect. Anna, Sandra and Daniel.

Finishing off with a smile.
