Little Cub's 1st Birthday

One year has passed since you were born and I still remember that day like it was just minutes away. It has been the happiest year of my life and I feel privileged to wake up next to you and follow you day by day.

We celebrated little Cub's birthday at Dad's work last weekend. Baby really enjoyed his party. Thanks everyone for celebrating with us and for making his day so special. I couldn't ask for more having Mike, Mum, my closests girlfriends with their lovely husband, partners and children gathered around my little son. You guys are stars!

`Where did you come from, baby dear? out of the everywhere into here´ (george macdonald 1824 - 1905). 

X-mas.

Along with all the x-mas amusement baby got really ill with fever. It was hard to see him outside his normal energetic self having little appetite and interrupted sleep in the night. We all felt so bad for our little cub. He was really ill the night before Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but luckily he got better Second Day of Christmas when he started antibiotics. A few days after we went outside to enjoy his new sledge. I am just so relieved baby is back to normal again. 

My mum and nan entertain little cub so that he takes less notice of how ill he feels.

Christmas Eve at my mum's.

Baby got to open the first present which was a huge hit :-)

We opened presents on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to keep both the Norwegian -and the British tradition in tact. 

Off to Charlottenlund to try out baby's new sledge.

Marry Christmas!

Thanks to baby I captured my perfect Christmas card photos during one of our strolls in the December day light. Sadly I never organised them into postcards and sent them to our friends and family the way I so perfectly planned.

 In that case I just turn to my blog and post the photos here. My number one plan B as I keep my blog as my personal diary. Hopefully one day baby can go through all the blog posts and see some of the things we did together during his childhood. 

It is not long left to 24th December and I am so excited to celebrate baby's first Christmas with the people I love the most.    

We wish you all a sweet Christmas and a joyful New Year!

The brightest star of them all

Happy 10 months old my little youngster.  You are the best December joy I have ever had.  The ski trip with you and Dad to see the lovely December lights. It makes the dark times up here in the north so much brighter. Our little drive in the cold dark evening out to Ersfjorden for hot beverages at the Café. The early December mornings helping you to open the Xmas calendar from 'Mor'.  Visiting great grand mothers warm Christmasy house and taking you to the gymnastics xmas show. Hello Xmas spirit you are finally back :-)
