Braces, Birthdays and Brats – January 2017 Ends
[Photos from 19-29 January 2017, posted online 06 April 2017. Spring has the upper hand over winter right now, but only just.]
January 2017 came to a close with Anna getting more braces, birthday parties, and other random outings. (31 images total)

Who owns this blue-and-white woolen jumper? Somebody left it our place years ago, and we’ve never figured out who the owner is/was… It came in handy though on a day where Emma was supposed to wear something woolen to daycare.

Anna awaiting her fate in the orthodontist’s chair.
Braces installed on her upper teeth. She did quite well in the next few day, although her mouth felt quite sore.

Finnur’s mom invited the family over to celebrate her 73rd birthday!
Grandma getting flowers.
Food, food, glorious food!
The attack of the hungry people. Finnur’s siblings also showed up, but I was in a food coma and didn’t take any more photos!

We left Anna in charge of her sleeping siblings, and went out to play a little Ingress. I’ve never been so close to this small, but very aesthetically pleasing bridge before! There is an identical one close by, but we’ve yet to visit it.
The last stop of our evening tour was a lighthouse (Grótta) that sits out at the edge of town, and you can only walk out there on a low tide. I’d never actually gone there but happily trudged to it in the pitch darkness with only the cellphone led-light to prevent tripping over things. Good times! 🙂

Anna went ice-skating with some friends, and I ended up taking Emma to the farm animal park next door. We happened to catch a pigeon show there! Emma was not happy about it though.
Lots of birds with little to do.
One of the pigeon owners packing up. He had a special pigeon carry-case!
Trying to explain to Emma that the horses were not accepting riders that day. She was disappointed.
Hi there!
Next up: watching a cow get milked.
A couple of calves getting the milk that was pumped.
Emma not entirely sure what to think.
We picked up Anna, and then dropped her friends off at their home, where we may or may not have scored waffles!!
Meanwhile, the boys hit the bakery.
That evening Finnur and I went out on another fun excursion! This is Ásmundasafn.

Bjarki was off playing with a friend, but due to poplar demand, I took these three kids to the archery range.
I thought Katniss had brown hair?
The balloon that just barely got away.
Ready, steady, …
Not terrible.
Finally, a smile!
That afternoon we attended Bragi’s 6th birthday party!
Singing time!
Back home, Emma at the dinner table.
Big eyes!
Bjarki reading, as per usual.
And thus endeth January 2017!
