Det nærmer seg jul

Juletreet er pyntet og pakkene pakket og fint plassert under juletreet. Det er siste søndag i advent og alle lysene er tent.

Jeg sitter her alene og stirrer på herligheten og tenker at jeg er jammen heldig. Heldig som har så mye; et koselig lite hus, en sjønn hund og en herlig familie.

I morgen etter jobb drar jeg ned til Vigrestad for å feire jul sammen med mor og far, besteforeldre, søsken og søskenbarn. Det er den lille prinsessen sin første jul og det skal bli så kjekt!

Rosa sprudlende vin er innkjøpt og jeg er så klar for en avslappende feiring sammen med min fantastiske familie!

Før prinsessen og mannen min tok avgårde sørover i kveld så måtte jeg få et bilde av henne, treet og alle gavene :)

Christmas is comin up, black decor?

Table is set

And ready for dinner guests!

Merry Christmas

The tree is full of pressies and that's only presents from Geremy And I not the rest of the fam!!!

Aaaaah yeah it's gonna be an amazing Christmas !!

Love all the gifts match the three.

This year it's all silver and white that's the theme with a slight touch of gold! Sorry about the picture quality but my camera is held hostage by wet with paint floor!

And with that I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas together with your loved ones!!

Xoxoxo

Kjøpe julemat og drikke i Stavanger uten bil!

Det å ikke ha bil går stort sett greitt i Stavanger. Vi har god tog og buss forbindelse til hvorhen vi skulle ønske å dra. Vi har en Prix og en Rimi rett over gata og alt annet nært.

MEN nå som det er jul og jeg skal kjøpe inn til julemiddagen kunne det vært svært kjekt med en bil!

Det har blitt mye bæring på meg denne uken!

I kveld: en glass bolle, 5 rødvinsflasker, 2 champagne flasker en hvit vin flaske pluss vesken i 1 km! Tja sånt blir d muskler av!!

Og så runde to på butikken handla jeg melk og grøt medisterkaker og engletisser, h melk og risenkål, mer juleøl og julepølser og juice til cocktails og hvem vet!!

Tja selv om dette er runde to ble det kilo på det...

Vel en god ting er vel at jeg føler jeg bruker mindre penger pga alle små handlene ;)

Ahhhhh gleder meg til lørdag, julaften

Elsker dinner parties!!

Nesten 5 kg pinnekjøtt

Til 8 pers- det må være nok!!

Eller???

Og koker du det i vannet det trekker i?

7 sorter til jul

In Norway there is this great tradition of baking at least 7 different kinds of cookies for Christmas.

Which is all really nice for cookie monsters but less nice for busy women.

So us girls at work got together for a nice social night of baking, drinking gløgg and socializing!

It was great fun and i came home with a carrierbag full of cookies of all kinds! :O

Dear Mr Santa....

All I want for christmas is this:

This year Santa, please give me a big, fat bank account and a slim body. And please, pretty, pretty, please Santa, don't mix up the two like you did last year! 

Pepperkake gingerbread strange deermen making

Ok so my husband is as my mom likes to put it

"a little bit special" 

So as a real real sweet calendar present he got me a gingerbread dough from Ikea and we were making lovely Ikea Gingerbread Cookies yesterday. I got the cutest cake cutters with moose and deer and snowflakes and so on.

But that wasn't enough. Geremy had to ehhhhhhh be creative :)

So he created these Gingerbread Deer Men - I sad thats gross, it looks like a dangling penis! !!  >O

Well you look for yourself.

And of course I had to put the *non penis cookies into my Norge's Glass !!!

Love them!

Kjøpe juletre i stavanger....

I dag tenker jeg at jeg skal gå å kjøpe juletre og kanskje starte å pynte til Jul. Gleder meg!

Elsker å pynte :) Julepynten min vil i år være hvitt og sølv med kanskje et par innslag av gjennomsiktig og gull. Har også kjøpt et par glitter hjorter i lys rosa og lilla som jeg fant i tyskland som vil passe bra som innslag av farge i gangvinduet.

Videre så har jeg kjøpt noen sorte kuler til soverromsvinduet - vi har en sort feature wall der og rommet skal gå i sort, hvitt og grått/sølv :)

Når det gjelder juletre har jeg bestemt meg for metoden som ehhhm drysser mindre og det blir nok til at jeg kjøper dette treet fra Clas Ohlson

Var å så på det her om dagen og jeg synes det er fint, og så bare 399kr.

Det er en stor fordel at man kan bøye på greinene slik at det passer til pynten.

jaja kjenner jeg gleder meg allerede :)

Da var alle mine pakker der

Minus lille julaften da- tenkte den måtte bli noe litt større så den kan vente...

Er den ikke søt?? Min mann kjøpte den til meg og overrasket meg når jeg kom hjem!!

Vel da gjenstår det bare for min mann å henge opp sine!

:) yay

Christmas wish list...

So its that wonderful time of the year again when we hang up all sorts of decorations and then buy each other heaps of gifts.

My mom has given the hubby and I a deadline until Monday to come up with a list.

My sister in law up North in Norway is so organized she has already created a mood board of her wishes. Goooosh...

As usual I am so far behind. Not like there isnt things I need but its just so hard to think of those things under pressure...

Usually I work well under pressure but this is for some reason so difficult. Perhaps its because I am a practical girl who kinda don't own much I dont use. Further, how exciting is it to get those practical things that you need - like a new dustpan and brush??

But yes there are a few luxury items I would like... Like ridiculously expesive things for the house... But most of those things are too expensive to be gifts. Like a kitchen aid food processor... They are so cute. Don't know if they work, or are the best to do what they do, but they are sooo cute!!

Anyways, back on the topic of xmas lists- I also need to figure out what to buy for the Vold clan!

Aghhh its not easy :) But still, like a kid, I cant wait for Xmas ! ! !

It's not the loudest that gets heard

As the year come to an end I typically start thinking about the year that has passed and the people in it. Today my thoughts went to Teurai Chanakira. We met whilst both in Law school in Cairns, Australia, and although we both liked law we also had a passion for the creative. If you meet Teurai you will most likely find a quiet, shy and polite beauty. But you are mistaken if you interpret this as a weakness. She is a very intelligent, hardworking and determined woman. She follows her dreams. This Zimbabwean is beautiful inside and out.She had a dream of doing modeling and fashion - I was probably one of the first to photograph her. Here is a pic from that first shoot. Totally unphotoshopped... She was a pleasure to photograph and with each shoot she got betterIn the last year she experienced a personal tragedy of loosing her mother. But her grief has been turned into something positive by the establishment of the Elizabeth Chanakira cancer trust.Further T published a book this year- with my pic on the cover- yeah I'm proud, that's currently on my wish list for Christmas... Eh hmm if u take the hint .. It can be bought on amazon... :).
