Anna Sólrún turns 8 years old/Christmas Day
Anna Sólrún is now EIGHT years old!! How time flies. 🙂 As is customary, we spent the day with Finnur’s family. We arrived around 14:30, and began by eating a chocolate cake in Anna’s honor. She then got to open some presents (Icelanders open the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve) much to her enjoyment. 🙂
After the ‘birthday-part’ of the day was over, the adults sat down to play whist while the kids watched some tv. After we’d played 12 rounds, it was time for Christmas Dinner, after which the whist-trophy was awarded to the top scorer, and some playing cards were given to the lowest scorer.
All in all it was a lovely Christmas Day, and to make the day even more lovely we had snowfall pretty much the whole day, making the view extra Christmassy. 🙂
Here are some photos from the day.
The standard-issue chocolate cake, with too many colorful smarties to be readable. It should say "Anna 8" 🙂
The (half) happy family. 🙂
The two 'Þórarins'. The wee one's middle name is 'Víkingur' which yes indeed, means viking. Hence the hat. 🙂
Guests in the living room. 🙂
Anna's decided smiling in pictures is for losers.
Getting the 'Happy Birthday-song' treatment. 🙂

Lots of onlookers.
Edda and Hilmir. Yes, they're siblings. 🙂

Snow! We've had more than a solid month of white ground. I like it! 🙂
