December Without Finnur
[Photos from 02-13 December 2015, posted on 7 February 2016. Still on the couch.]
Finnur was in California, visiting his work mother-ship, from 27 November to 14 December. That span covers three weekends. Ayayay!
I’m collecting the photos I took during the first half of December here. I was hunkered down in survival mode, but still stuff happened. Crazy! (41 images total)

Nökkvi, Jóhanna & Kids Spend the Day
[Photos from 28 July 2015, put online 09 September 2015. Storm #2 arriving tonight!]
We finally got around to hosting Nökkvi and Jóhanna and their kiddos for a hot tubbing day! It was a surprisingly good day weather-wise, so Finnur also got in touch with his inner stainer, and stained some of the fences in front of the house. (14 images total)
Sunbrella time!
Ríkey & Co visit and Finnur’s 40th (+363 days) Birthday Bash
[Photos from 27 July 2015, put online 08 September 2015. Yet another storm hitting.]
Monday was a busy day. My cousin Ríkey and her gang came for a day-long visit, which included american pancakes, and hot tubbing, of course.
In the evening, we handed the kids over to my brother Bjarni, while we took Finnur’s immediate family out for dinner to celebrate his 40th birthday, two days before he would turn 41 years old. Better late than never?! (16 images total)
Pancakes about to be gobbled up. Palli was a little late to join us, and Bjarki was too hungry to be photographed! Also, we TOTALLY failed at photographing the cousins playing. Tsk, tsk!
The Wedding of Nökkvi and Jóhanna
My oldest brother, Nökkvi, and Jóhanna, his spouse of about five years and mother of his two children, got married today! 🙂 It was a lovely day, warm-ish and sunny, and I had the pleasure of taking photos for the event. UPDATE 14 June 2012: There are now two Google+ albums with photos from thatRead more
Small Family Get-Together
We summoned my mother, brothers, spouses and kids over for ‘coffee’ one leisurely Sunday afternoon. I made American Pancakes. They came out yummy! 🙂Read more
New Year’s Eve
We spent the last day of the year 2011 in pretty standard fashion. We began by attending The Annual Dinner With Finnur’s Family (and a couple of their friends) at the lovely adobe of Finnur’s uncle and his wife. After eating far too much, and playing with fireworks, we hightailed it to Hrefna’s family where we hiked up to the hill shortly before midnight (also an annual tradition) and attempted to see the crazy amount of fireworks being fired up at the new year.
