New Year’s 2011/2012

By on 4-Jan-2012 in Filip & Alexander

After having managed a wonderful Christmas, it was now time for our first whole week at Dad’s. He had some surprises up his sleeve! As we walked into the apartment, we were told to cover our eyes while Dad went to fetch something from somewhere in the apartment. When he came back, he showed us two huge bean bags, the kind you sit on/in. We figured they’d be nice to use in front of the TV. Dad told us they were indeed intended for that use, but not just to watch TV. After that, he showed us the box to our latest gaming toy, the Sony Playstation 3! Nice stuff! Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and Need for Speed – The Run were the initial titles he had gotten for us. Very nice!

 

On December 30th, aunt Katja came around to check out the apartment and to pick us up for another fun filled evening. We went to “Hovet” to watch Katja’s favorite team, Djurgården (DIF) take on Luleå for an action packed Hockey game. The surprise had been a well kept secret, and we had a blast. Unfortunately “our” favorite team (DIF) took a beating, but I think Katja was more disappointed than us.

 

 

 

Mom came over for New Year’s Eve; Dad cooked for all of us, and then we watched some of the fireworks around this part of Stockholm. We were quite tired when it was time to hit the bed around 01:00, but at least we didn’t fall asleep at 21:30 like we did the previous year! LOL

On the second day of 2012, we went to Heron City with Dad to watch Happy Feet 2 in 3D. Having liked the first Happy Feet movie, we were really looking forward to the sequel. Dad made it into a whole day of activities with everything from clothes shopping, a visit to IKEA, a proper burger meal, and a visit to the gaming arcade at Heron City before the movie. All in all, great stuff!

That pretty much concludes our first week in this place, as well as the first few days of 2012.

Ice Hockey: Djurgården vs Södertälje

By on 2-Nov-2010 in Alexander-2010

Aunt Katja and I went to watch Djurgården (my Aunt’s favorite team) and Södertälje play ice hockey today at Hovet. We had a good time, even if my Aunt is slightly disorganized at times! Djurgården won with 4-3, but it was a very close and good game — and I had a blast!

On our way back, we dropped by Fryshuset Arenan where Dad had been watching Alter Bridge, one of his favorite bands (this time featuring Slash), which he enjoyed a lot.

The whole building was shaking when we came into it .. I guess those boys play pretty loud. Since my Aunt had to work (tearing down the AB set), I hooked up with Dad for the ride on Tvärbanan back home. All in all, a very good day!

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma Tora!

By on 15-Aug-2010 in Alexander-2010, Filip-2010

This weekend we went to Forshaga near Karlstad in Värmland. The roadtrip was brought on by our Grandma Tora’s 90th birthday! A big part of the family on Mom’s side came to honor the oldest lady of them all, as well as a somewhat younger Ronja, who celebrated her 20th birthday at the same time. It was a blast, and we got to meet a lot of people we don’t see so often.

We stayed with aunt Yvonne who lives in Forshaga as well.

You can check out photos from the party in our photo album!

On our way back from Forshaga, we stopped by one of Dad’s colleagues, Mats, who lives in Skattkärr with his family. Mats had a really cool trampoline mat (jumping mat), and we had a lot of fun with it together with Mats’ two children, H&M.
