driving home on boxing day

 Just over the last hill and down the slope. Driving through the snow.

And away we go...


 


 

The ground is covered with a thick layer of wet snow. A white and wet Christmas indeed.

The kids jump into it.



Nice when you know there's a real hot water shower just around the corner.

Look what Jesper discovered today:


Something for LA Galaxy?

Jesper and Kristoffer making snow angels.


Adding the head:




We called it Angel Di Maria. For real.

Heavy snowfall today but Jesper and Kristoffer don't mind.



All you need is a little help from a tractor...



There's green under white.

Next: Trying out the new streethockey set. Just have to remove all the snow first. Maybe tomorrow.


What should we call the goalie? King Henrik, Belfour, Esposito, Brodeur, Hasek, Roy, Holecek, Tretiak, Dzurilla, Lindbergh..?

Another tradition. Christmas Day-bandy:



 Kristoffer..:
