Well, we had a GREAT Christmas! On Christmas Eve we went to the Temmeruds' house (the neighbors') and ate Christmas porridge with the almond hidden. Guess who got the almond AGAIN? Me! I won a bag of chocolates this time. Then at 3 p.m., we went to the Hagenes family (from church) for dinner. Since Christmas Eve is the official gift opening day, it was a great honor to be invited to their house. We ate pinekjøtt (salted and dried lamb ribs steamed for a few hours before eating) with bolied potatoes and mashed rutabegas (sooooo good!). We ate until we were full. Then we had cloud berry cream for dessert. Afterwards we opened presents. Then we ate some more dessert. And we ate and ate and kept eating and talking and watching TV movies. Then Tylene and I came home late and got up the next morning at 6 am to get online with our families and open presents. It was great to be able to see my family over the webcam, and they could see me as I opened the gifts. It made not being home for Christmas a lot easier. Then yesterday (Christmas day) we went to David Husefest's family for dinner and to stay overnight. We ate pinekjøtt again and dessert and ate and played games and ate some more. It really was a lot of fun. Now we are finally home and watching Christmas movies. My feet are cold as ice right now though it's not extremely cold outside :) Ahh but it's good to be home and relaxing for Christmas. I have the rest of the week off, so I am looking forward to being able to hang around the house and sleep and read and do the things I don't normally get to do!
Have a wonderful day!
