Christmas Day marked Anna becoming a teenager, as she’s now 13 years old! \u00a0She got presents from us at home, and then we attended the annual Christmas Day party at Finnur’s parent’s place.<\/p>\n

This year we broke from tradition and did not play social whist, somehow the time to do it never materialized. \u00a0But it was a lovely day nonetheless! (42 images total)<\/p>\n
