God Jul!

This year we celebrated Christmas like the Swedes. Which is celebrated for practically 6 weeks with so many mini celebrations leading up to the main even, we choose to do just the main christmas day with Fika, which is coffee and pastries and then have a smorgasbord after. But I couldn't resist making advent calendars for the girls, since they don't live with me anymore I thought it was a great way to celebrate. The swedish really know how to party! Glögg is amazing btw.
