December..

The Christmas-month is here!!
Drago and I went shopping for gifts, in Bodø! For the first time in allmost 2years we spent two whole days just the two of us!! My sister was an angel, and babysat the kids at our house!!
We got to shop most of the gifts for x-mas, we ate dinner at a nice restaurant, and went to the movie! We saw the great movie 2012!! I like those kind of films..but they scare me too!!
Here is my housband, in the snow in Bodø!




Today was the 1th of december..and our tradition is having a calendar where the kids get to open one gift every day until x-mas! Since it is very expensive to make one for 3 kids, we are making it a bit different this year: They get one chokolate-calendar each (they are very cheap calendars with one tiny bit of chokolate for each day!), and then they get one gift every third day..that way they still get some gifts..but without ruining us!!
I must say..times are really changing.. We are getting more and more materialistic..
When I was a kid,,all we got was one chokolate calendar...and that was HUGE for us, since we only got to eat a little bit of candy every Saturday!! I remember one year I got a calendar with tiny tiny plastic figures, ment to making a necklace of!! I was so happy for it!!
Anyway.. my kids get more than I ever got! But they are not as spoiled as many of their friends.. I try to learn them that buying things does not make someone happy..it's the tings we do! So many of the days in the calendar, their gift is to do something with their family,,like baking christmas-cookies!!

Here is a photo of me and my youngest,,where he is getting his very first chokolate-calendar
