Joel has studied the saints and knows the moves. Tomorrow he and his best friend Einar will lead the lucia-procession at day-care.

Today we had a birthday party for Silas. It was hard work helping him open his presents and keeping peace among the babies.

Silas was very pleased with himself when he took one of his first walks the other day.

We've been really good Santa, honestly.

This morning Grandma and I woke Mum and Dad and Silas with some songs and a teatray. I had to make sure the buns were ok before we went in.

Mmmmmm, this tastes nice. I wonder if this is the sour dough that Mummy keeps talking about.

Sometimes packages arrive in the mail with exciting things inside. I don't know why I got presents this time - it's not my birthday or anything - but I'm not complaining.
