Christmas Day 2016 = Anna’s 13th Birthday
[Photos from 25 December 2016, posted online 05 March 2017. At least she’s still a teenager!]
Christmas Day marked Anna becoming a teenager, as she’s now 13 years old! She got presents from us at home, and then we attended the annual Christmas Day party at Finnur’s parent’s place.
This year we broke from tradition and did not play social whist, somehow the time to do it never materialized. But it was a lovely day nonetheless! (42 images total)

The day began by Anna getting a book about skeletons (ooooh!)…

Anna getting sung for. This year the baking went rather badly, as we managed to singe (burn) both the cake and the banana bread. Better luck next time!

Since the whist never got off the ground, a little bit of poker got played instead.
