Lucky people

Christmas is over but the fun hasn't stopped. It is so nice to have this time off together, we have never really had that since we got together. I mean yes we have been on leave at the same time, but really only to go travelling. This is different. To be home and only do what we feel like doing, with no pressure to see new things or meet lots of people.
Jakob has surprised us a couple of mornings with some nice sleep-ins. The new record is 7.45 in the evening until 9.15 in the morning!! The last couple of mornings he has woken up between 7-7.30 but I have been lucky to get to stay in bed when Adam has been up with Jakob.
Adam has finally had some luck with his shopping. The Christmas sales has started and he has bought a really nice and warm winter jacket, a fleece jacket and also some nice jumpers and jeans. He really needed some warm clothes.
Today we went to a swimming centre with our friends Maria, Andreas and their daughter Alice. When we got there there was a note on the door saying that the kids pool didn't open until 11 instead of 10, so instead of waiting we went to the riding club which is only a few minutes away. Jakob and Alice had a look at the horses and were really excited. Back at the swimming centre we all had a "swim" in the baby pool. It was heated and really nice and warm. Both kids loved it and Jakob even went in the big water slide a few times with Adam. After the bath we all had a drink and some fruit before we went home. Jakob fell asleep in the car and after carrying him into his own bed, both Adam and I fell asleep for an hour.

Jakob and Alice are starting to become very good friends. They live very close to us if you walk through the forest (a few trees...). Yesterday I walked there for the first time and it only took 12 minutes.
The picture shows Jakob and Alice dancing after the bath. They almost look like brothers and sisters.

Today after our sleep we went to my parents for a nice dinner. My brother and Helena and Moa were also there and the kids had great fun together.

The container from Australia has finally arrived and it will all be delievered tomorrow. We have started making room in the cupboards to be ready for the big day. We are very excited!!
