Anna S\u00f3lr\u00fan is now EIGHT years old!! \u00a0How time flies. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0As is customary, we spent the day with Finnur’s family. \u00a0We arrived around 14:30, and began by eating a chocolate cake in Anna’s honor. \u00a0She then got to open some presents (Icelanders open the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve) much to her enjoyment. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After the ‘birthday-part’ of the day was over, the adults sat down to play whist<\/a> while the kids watched some\u00a0tv. \u00a0After we’d played 12 rounds, it was time for Christmas Dinner, after which the whist-trophy was awarded to the top scorer, and some playing cards were given to the lowest scorer.<\/p>\n

All in all it was a lovely Christmas Day, and to make the day even more lovely we had snowfall pretty much the whole day, making the view extra Christmassy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here are some photos from the day.<\/p>\n

The standard-issue chocolate cake, with too many colorful smarties to be readable. It should say "Anna 8" \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

The two '\u00de\u00f3rarins'. The wee one's middle name is 'V\u00edkingur' which yes indeed, means viking. Hence the hat. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

Master Chef \u00de\u00f3rarinn and Sous Chef Anna.<\/p><\/div>\n
