Christmas Eve and Christmas Part III

This is Christmas Eve night (the time for gifts in Sweden called Julafton). Samuel opened the directions to the lego airplane in the morning and was overheard telling himself that it was "okay that he only had the directions, he would buy the pieces later". How sweet... we actually thought about not giving him the plane because he was doing so well with the directions. However, the picture below is the beginning of the present opening and he is very excited. (even though he was running a fever he was doing so well). You can also see Viktor (Samuel's cousin) received a stove... or is it a new garage for his cars?


This is Sam when he saw that the Lego airplane was actually in the box! I love the joy on his face.

This is the most amazing hug ever! He put all of his joy and thankfulness into this hug and it was very rewarding for mommy! I will never forget the feeling of this one hug... amazing how the little things really matter.

Viktor with him mom and dad (Johan and Emma). Viktor looks like he is having more fun with the ribbon. (we are all at Johan and Emma's house).

The whole family. Left to right...Johan, Viktor, Emma, Olle (Farfar), Margareta
(Farmor), Samuel, Laurie and Andreas. It is not easy getting everyone to look at the same time as the timer goes off. Needless to say after about 4 of these the kids were done.
