CHRISTMAS ON KIGAMBONI

We spent Christmas Eve on Kigamboni with grandma Rose and granddad Peter (bibi and babu). My cousins Jed and Jef were also there with their parents auntie Hilda and uncle Sisty.
Jed and I got a small Santa each who could dance!

Here Jed and I get presents from Santa.

Bibi Rose also got a present from Santa.

So did Charlotte but she was afraid of the real Santa and only wanted to play with little Santa.

Here I am showing my Buckle gun present to babu.

WEDDING!

On the 31st of July, 2010, my parents got married in the Town Hall of Östersund, Sweden. It was a small, very nice wedding and I got to wear new traininers and a blazer!
Here my dad and mum are listening to some wise words by the officiator Monika Lindam. You can also see my friend Hugo's parents Stefan (also Charlotte's godfather) and Malin who were among the guests.

Wedding ceremony over and I get to pose in my blazer with the officiator Monika Lindau, mum, dad and Charlotte.

More posing. Here with grandpa Lasse, grandma Maggan, me, mum, dad, Charlotte and grandma Rose.

Photo shoot in action. Uncle Danne was the wedding photographer and took excellent wedding pictures!

Time for more photos at Jamtli, an open air museum with beautiful old houses...

.... and even an old petrol station with a cool car from "the good old days", as grandpa said.

After the wedding ceremony and the photo shoot, we all went to the restaurant "Innefickan" for the wedding dinner.

Auntie Jessica and grandma Rose towards the end of the wedding dinner. For me, the evening ended here but mum, dad, Stefan and Malin continued the party at "Storsjöyran" ("The Great Lake Festival") where there were fireworks, lots of music and a speach by the president of Jamtland!

MY SISTER CHARLOTTE'S BAPTISM

On the 24th of July, 2010, my little sister Charlotte was baptised in Frösö Church, Sweden. It was a beautiful day and many of our relatives and friends joined us for the big occasion.
Here, auntie Jessica, Maja, Maja's and Theo's grandma Åsa, uncle Danne, dad, Theo and I are waiting outside the church.

Charlotte was baptised by the priest Göran Modén. Charlotte was very good, didn't cry at all!

Here I am outside the church in my cool sunglasses together with dad, Charlotte and mom.

Both our grandmothers outside the church: Maggan and Rose. Bibi Rose had come all the way from Tanzania!

After church, we all went to grandma's and granddad's house for a BIG garden party with super nice food prepared by grandma and auntie Jessica!
