Christmas Eve rolled into Christmas Day, and thus Anna’s 15th birthday!

It was a fairly typical 25 December. We made desserts to take to Finnur’s parents’ place and then Anna opened her presents. The party was well attended, the food was excellent as always, social whist was played, dessert was eaten, and Anna even got some more presents!

All in all, a very good day! (40-ish images total)

Anna, officially 15 years old, at the very end of the day!
That morning though, here’s the apple cake before it got covered in cinnamon sugar, and put in the oven.

Emma had, FINALLY, gotten her Elsa dress-up wish fulfilled, and she seemed ready to live in that outfit until the end of time.
Gift-opening time. There was nail-polish, books, and jewelry.

Anna seemed to enjoy the Studio Ghibli design books she got.
Next up was Finnur’s parent’s place. Here are some of their decorations.

Social whist time!
Clearly on a roll!
One of the few times that there have been four tables. So fun that the younger generation is getting old enough to play.

Christmas cards are a disappearing custom.
Cookies are forever though.

Once all 12 rounds of whist were over, it was time to ready the dessert, and count the points.
Mild pandemonium in the kitchen.
Finnur’s parents have been married for 50 years!
