Henny carefully watches over her stuff, count 'em out and count them in again.
more cake...
which made it remarkably quiet considering there were so many kids here.

Not content with one celebration maud invited her chums round for a bun fight, which also meant more presents of course.

F is for IV
For those that don't know, life actually begins at 4. Fact.
So with great anticipation, coupled with a daily countdown, the day eventually came - Maud M.T. Conibear age 4.
Now i'll get my excuses in early with this one, it's not easy capturing a geared up birthday girl who is bouncing off the walls high on the thrill of actually understanding what a birthday is all about. But here is the 'best' of what we managed.
I also forgot to document todays weather just so we can look back in years to come and show that yes we did used to get snow on Maud's birthday.
The snow is still here and it's time it wasn't. Bah.
We managed a sneaky present before i had to go to work and Maud to nursery to celebrate with her friends.
Back from a taxing day at nursery it was time for more visitors (uncle Trond just happened to be in town) and of course presents.
Snazzy hand made outfit courtesy of who else but Mormor, Maud's dress kind of breaks up the overall effect but you get the idea.
yeah that's right indoctrinate them early just so they expect to get jewellery every birthday for the rest of their lives.
and here we see this years nursery crown, pink natch.
and cake, yeah OK it's a wooden one, but went down a storm.
No we didn't forget you Henny, but it appears we did forget to wipe your nose. (this is what photoshop is for i guess)
and to end a long celebratory day the cake finally comes into focus.
Seems happy enough to be 4

Super G (and T)
1 month and a few days is nothing in the age of man but unfortunately this is blog world and one month and a few days here is an entire aeon. Sorry.
Your screens, well probably maybe mostly ours over here in 'we love snow land', will soon be filled with hour upon hour of winter olympic sport type stuff.
Grandma will unfortunately not be in the British bobsleigh team but maybe she should be.... check this the original super G. - faster than a speeding bullet and then some.
Uncle Tim shows how truly fearless he really is.

Winter break
January saw G&T make another trip to Oslo, this of course means the girls get to tire grandma out with thier demanding schedule, plenty of reading,
footbal practice in a newly aquired kit direct from Manchester.
plenty of monkeying around
and as we've seen before, snow time.

Grin like a maniac.....
eat like a monster, well OK maybe not quite like a monster as they tend to eat everything in sight, Henny sticks to bread, baby porridge and a few carefully selected foods. Amazingly and in spite of her limited diet she is bang on the average weight and height curves at 11kg and 79cm
Mrs fussy eating her porridge
Maud was the complete opposite and ate almost anything when she was getting the taste for food. One thing that they do have in common though is a huge appetite for all things sweet.

Christmas 2009
Jul 2009
One of the whitest christmas holidays for quite a few years here in Ff, only a quick trip here for us this years as we have to be back at work again on monday, still here a quick peek at what we have done.
First thing first Maud and Henny see if there are any presents with their names on.
tons of snow also means tons of outdoor time too.
Maud in her finery ready for the mad scramble that is present opening.
december 25th and its snowing...lots.

Scary Santa
Trying to get this lot to stand still more than about 0.5 seconds is pretty much the impossible task, Maud and Nora aren't so bad but Henny and Henrik have bad cases of ants in the pants. So this is the bet shot there is.
Quite unbelievably santa managed to visit us too, Henny was too shocked to move.
It all turned out all right though, small girls and pink dollies are a good combo.
Guess who got a new jacket for Christmas
