EASTER HOLIDAY

We celebrated Easter in Sweden this year. We ALL got the flu (me, Charlotte, mum, grandma, granddad, Theo, Maja, Danne and Jessica...) but it was nice to see family and friends again and since everybody had the flu, it didn't really matter...
It has become tradition that my friend Moses comes to visit me at Arlanda airport when we are on transit. We watch airplanes and eat at McDonalds and have lots of fun! Like me, Moses is now a big brother so soon his baby brother Stig Munga will also spot airplanes together with my little sister Charlotte.
I had been missing my cousin Theo a lot so we played almost everyday. Here we are checking out our new Rory cars which we got from grandma and granddad because it was very close to my birthday.
Another birthday present was this police uniform pyjama. Here I am sitting with granddad who had put the present parcel on his head!
Here is my little sister Charlotte with our cousin Maja, both eight months. Here they are practicing how to sit without support.
A Swedish Easter tradition is to dress up as Easter witches and give away Easter cards to the neighbours. In return, the Easter witches get sweets!
One day we went to the mountains and had lunch in the Sami cottage by Ann-Sofie's and Kalle's winter cottage. Åsa ("Mama B") came along and many of mum's cousins were also there. In this picture you can see Charlotte, mum and Åsa.
There was a lot of snow. The first few days I hesitated to go out though because I had to wear so many bulky clothes. But after a while I started to love the snow, especially when my cousin Theo and I could go out and play together!
This day it was snowing a lot. I could even catch snowflakes with my tongue!
One of my favourite winter activities is to go on a snow-racer.
It is also fun to ski. Here granddad is teaching me how to ski for the first time.
Another day, we went to grandma's and granddad's cottage. Here grandma is sitting with Charlotte on the veranda.
