Yule 2017
[Photos taken on 24 December 2017, posted on 29 July 2018. Finnur’s 44 years old today, it’s 22C/72F outside, and cloudy right now (!!!), and I’m at Norðurbakkinn cafe.]
The Big Yule Day finally arrived! Finnur as usual took care of all things kitchen related, while I took care of the gift-side of things. Anna helped with tidying up, and uh, it was a pretty fine day overall. (21 images total)
Kiddos in front of the tree right before dinner started (and they’d gotten permission to open one present each, on condition they posed for a photo!).
Earlier in the day I made a last minute store run (the stores close at 2 pm on Christmas Eve, and open two days later). I was so happy that it managed to snow just enough to have a somewhat white yule!
The meat being cooked sous vide.
The nice plates came out of hiding.
Poor Emma had a very hard time waiting for the present-opening. But the other two were up for good food!
The meat turned out absolutely delicious!!
Yeah baby!
After dinner, it was present opening time!
The tree, supported by presents!
The ginger bread house, seen from the floor!
Presents!
Controlled chaos!
Hugs!
Anna laughing.
Emma eyeing the remainder of the presents.

Anna getting sucked into book-land.
Finnur happy with Emma’s artwork from daycare.
Awww, hugs!
After all the commotion, it was bedtime, but first, a snapchat filter! Merry everything!! 🙂
