Merry Christmas!

After waiting through a very long month of December, the boys were thrilled when Christmas Eve arrived.
They didn't particularly like any of the Swedish Christmas food we served up (risgrynsgröt - nope, juskinka - don't think so, vörtlimpa - too spicy, and so on). They did eat a symbolic amount of prinskorv before it was time to open presents.
Mathias read most of the gift labels. Johan received a pair of downhill skis from Farmor, Farfar, Anna, and Per. He was very enthusiastic about it. Mathias received several things related to Angry Birds (you cannot estimate the popularity of AB with the Kindergarten set).
Johan kept saying 'this is the best Christmas ever!' Of course, he doesn't remember much from last Christmas so that makes sense.
Before going to bed they set out cookies for Santa Claus and carrots for his reindeer.
