Julafton - Christmas Eve





It is Christmas Eve in Sweden. This is when all Swedish families celebrate Christmas with traditional smorgasboards. This means that all restaurants, cafes and bars are closed and Jeannie did not get enough food yesterday to feed everyone until dinner. Oooops!
The girls were out until 5:30 this morning so we knew that they would sleep until 2 or 3 so Dan and Nick and I headed out to hunt down some food. I found 1 hotel that was still serving food in the bar (limited menu) with a limited yet expensive menu. So the 3 of us had lunch for around $80. They had no take away for the girls so they were out of luck.
Walked through Humelgaarden park - lots of fresh snow!! The kids were all sleighing and playing in the snow, what a lovely site!
Back at the apartment the girls were finally awake. They went back to the same hotel to get their food and Dan and Nick & I played games and watched movies. A wonderful Christmas treat!!
Tonight is kosher stew & more movies and games with everyone.
Hope all is well - we a lovely time here in Sweden!
