We went for a walk

My parents live in a georgous area in the outskirts of Stockholm. It's like a fairy tale, especially winters like this one when everything is covered in snow. Just have a look at these pictures.

It´s Christmas!

Finally, it´s Christmas! The kids and I arrived in Stockholm, Sweden, yesterday evening. If you´re following me on Twitter you probably read about us leaving home one hour late, so I didn´t think we would make it to the airport on time. Well we did... And the plane actually took off one hour late due to the cold weather in the north of Europe. I´m...
