Year 2011,

Today is last day of 2011. Year has passed very fast and has been full of different happenings. Some of them are bigger and others are smaller. Some of them have made us happy, some of them has made us sad.

Year started for us with preparations for our wedding. We had our beautiful wedding in the end of April. Now we have said "Yes" do each other. Not much has changed in the feeling. Only my last name was changed and I was need to change all my documents.  Everything else feels the same, since we love each other the same way just as before. We had even our nice small wedding trip to southern part of Sweden and to Öland. It was very nice and very good time.

During that period from January to end of march we went also to preparation course for adoption, since we have thought that we would like to adopt child. So all the year has also went for the meetings with social services. Final result for all those things should be known during march 2012. We both hope that the result will be as we would like. We are just happy that our closest are supporting us on this.

In summer on our vacation, instead traveling, we worked our garden so much we could.  Last owners had 2 dogs and they had made some digging, so we tried to make our garden nice again. We succeed almost with it. Just small part needs to be sewed in spring, since we could not finish the all. It just rained and rained and rained. Mostly no summer at all.
In the autumn, we started to rebuild our company. Before we had trading company and now we have limited company. Big step, but we hope that all will go well for us. Will see in next year how it all will end.

Now in Christmas time, we spent Christmas together with our families. First we was at my father-in-laws home and couple of days after that, we went further to Estonia, from where we came home yesterday. It was so good time. Only problem was, that this time just went so fast. Hopefully next summer and Christmas we can go and spend time with family again. It was something I felt, what was needed.

So, in the end, I can say one thing, that I am satisfied with the year. Even thought, so much I would have wished differently, but in the end, we can't change what faith, future brings with it for Us. Only thing we can hope for is that all things will be well in the end. I just hope quietly in my mind that next year will bring more happiness, more laugh and less tears with it. That we could be more happier towards each other and for family.

Christmas presents,

Now has Santa even visited our home. It has been very nice Santa this year. That must mean, that I have been nice during a year, since I got many nice presents.

One of the present, what I got was Dominion. More about Dominion can be readed in Boardgamegeek.com. I have played that game couple of times before and I have really liked it. So must admit, that I really wanted that game.

The other thing, what we got was a kitchen scale. Now I can bake again. Last one my dear husband braked and it went to dumpster. Now we got new one and that was good. I can make my baguettes again and some other good things.

We got also double waffle iron. One thing my dear wished, since he loves to have sometimes bigger iron, when he bakes waffles. 
I got also accessory bag for my sewing machine things or if I will take my sewing machine with me, for my father-in-law and want to sew or embroider things, since I have taken my sewing machine with me sometimes. So that is very good to use and I am sure that I will take it often with me. Have space even for thread.

Got even straightener and a book about Christmas and bit money what I can use my Estonian trip to buy some more sewing thread for my embroidery machine. That is good :) That means I can buy some more extra thread. Cool :)
I can say, that I am very happy over Christmas presents this year. Santa has been very kind for me. They have been very good and practical presents and they have been presents, what we both have been wanted :) Now, I just have to wait a year to get visit from new Santa :) Christmas is good. I just hope that next year we will have even snow in Christmas eve.
I  hope, that even my husband was happy over the presents. He has spoiled me and I think he deserved the present. The much he has helped both me and my colleague. I just felt, he needed something very special.

Christmas Eve,

It is Christmas Eve. This day has been waited for all year long. I think most children will start to wait it just after they have opened their presents.
Time has just flied. In the morning we visited church yard and after that we have prepared Christmas here at home. Made some food and when had good Christmas Eve lunch.
What Christmas is without Christmas movies? In my mind, no Christmas. So, today we have looked sever Christmas film so far and evening is not over yet.
Christmas here in Sweden has also it's own traditions. Like Donald Duck and his friends and some other same kind of traditions. In the evening we will have some more traditional Christmas food.
Of course, there will be time to open the Christmas presents, what is under the Christmas tree and waiting for us. Santa has been very busy this year.

Tomorrow we will having lunch with all family and after that we will drive home and start to pack for the Monday. In Monday we will having  trip up to Stockholm so that we can take the plane and go to Estonia and visit also my family. That is a trip, what I have waited for long time, since last I met my family was last year in August, so it is time to go visit them as well. It would be also good to introduce for Tommy Christmas traditions in Estonia and as well give him the possibility to taste Christmas food in Estonia :) He has never had that possibility, so it will be good to go and give him possibility to taste it.

Only one thing what I at least is missing on the Christmas time is Snow. I think I am bit spoiled in that way, since I do love the snow and feeling like Christmas is not the same without white beautiful snow. Must hope, that some snow will come there soon! It would be much lighter also outside if there would be the snow down.

Merry Christmas to all of you out there and I hope that you will enjoy that time together with your family.

Merry Christmas,

Time has just flied and Christmas is just behind the doors. I would like to wish for all my friends and for my blog readers Merry Christmas! It has been nice to read your comments about my handwork and for blog. I hope that you all will have wonderful Christmas and that Santa will come :)

Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi

Yesterday we drove again with this years Lucia girls. That gave also us possibility to drive with new car, since every year we get cars we drive girls with, from Holmgrens Bil in Jönköping.
This year, I could drive with new Hyundai i40. Last year I drove also with an Hyundai and I liked it, this years car was also very good one. Just in the beginning it needed bit to get used to with it. It was so strange in the beginning to have no keys, when you started to drive and first thing was, that I needed to find a place to where I could put the keys. Later, when handbrake was need to be used, I just tried to find it and could not. When I found another bottom and so easy it was. It just felt much harder in the first place.

In the end, after long day with driving, I felt good. After I had left the car with next driver and went to get my own car, it was strange to sit in and start to drive, but it went very fast over. I am so much used to drive with my Bluey :)

Christmas tablecloth,

Today I have sit behind my dear embroidery machine started to make more Christmas presents and our own home decorations. Today I made a nice elfs. One of the motive what I really like. Last year I made that same motive on curtains for my aunt in Estonia and she liked them :)
