My friend Johannes was blessed!
Today we were invited to the blessing of my friend Johannes at The Salvation Army in Egersund. In The Salvation Army, a blessing is something similar to a baptism.
My dad was asked to take pictures so we wanted to be there early, but our car would not start. Luckily we got help from our neighbor Egil, who helped mom pushing the car while my dad started it, so we were only two minutes late.
After the ceremony we drove to Johannes' house were we got lunch (great soup!) and celebrated. Johannes and me slept in our strollers on the balcony when we got tired, while my parents ate cake. Not fair!

My first visit to the Netherlands
On Saturday the 27th we left for the Netherlands to visit my family there.
The flight went well. I only cried a few minutes and then I fell asleep! Finally I could visit "Oma", "Opa", aunt Suzanne and aunt Sarah! "Oma" had found toys that dad used to play with when he was my age. I was very happy to play with them in the same playpen that my dad had used. Aunt Suzanne and Sarah also played with me and "Oma" and "Opa" sang Dutch songs and read books for me.
"Oma" and "Opa" had also made a nice new mattress in a small bed for me, but unfortunately I refused to sleep there. I just wanted to lie next to mom and dad, and I was driving my mom and dad crazy since their bed was only 1,20 m. Every night I was awake at least 3 times... Well, I was very happy during daytime.
I tried different vegetables that "Oma" and "Opa" boiled for me.
On New Year's Eve we had a nice day! We visited the sheep. I actually saved one of them. She was lying on her back when we came, and would probably have died if I had not insisted on seeing the sheep.
The fireworks were very loud, but I slept through all of them!
The flight home went very well. My parents sang for me and I was smiling and playing the whole flight!!!!
I celebrated Christmas at Ålgård
We went to stay at "mormor" and "morfar" 's house at Ålgård. My parents had brought luggage for two weeks and lots of presents.
I enjoyed celebrating Christmas Eve together with "mormor", "morfar", mom, dad, uncle Asgeir, aunt Siri, Marta, Gudrun, aunt Eli, uncle Lars and Emma. We were so lucky to finally meet father Christmas!!! I got many nice gifts and I was happy to play with Marta, Gudrun and Emma. My parents and I slept 4 nights at Ålgård, but I cried every night, so I didn’t really sleep much. I was obstibated, and I had pain in my ear. Anyway, we had a nice time at Ålgård!
Sinterklaas-party
After coming home from the cabin in Ådneram we celebrated Sinterklaas together with Rieko, Torunn-Helen and Johannes!
Unfortunately I was so tired that I was sleeping before they arrived, but when I woke up at 20.30 at least I could say Hi to Johannes.
I got a "Baby Buff" and a new toy from Sinterklaas!
