Christmas Day

I know it's a little late but...

On Christmas Day we had Dinner at Selbraut grandma Addý, Grandpa Erlingur and Great Grandma Bossí. The food was excellent. First we had salmon, then lamb and some homemade icecream for dessert.


Where is everyone?


Mom and Grandma Addý.

Christmas Eve at Stina's

We spent Christmas Eve with my sister Stina. We had reindeer for dinner, which tasted great. Then the Icelandic tradition is to open presents after dinner on Christmas Eve, so that is of course what we did.


Just before dinner. Everyone very excited of course. Gunnar Magnus's cousins Vala and Stefan are here with him at the Christmas tree before we opened the presents. Their father, Hjolli, is supporting him.


Stina, Gunnar Magnus and Vala. Behind them you can see Hjolli and Stefan play Star Wars I in PS2.



Gunnar SR was pretty excited about his Christmas present, which maybe was more suitable for his son than for him.


Gunnar Magnus enjoyed this classic toy that he got from grandma.

Walking!!!

Gunnar Magnus took his first steps on Christmas Day.

The First Christmas

Here you can see Gunnar Magnus playing with the Fisher Price car wash station that he got from his parents. He also takes a moment to show how tall he is.

The new Radford - Garðastræti

Gunnar SR and Gunnar JR arrive at our new apartment at Garðastræti. They seem pretty happy about it.


We unpacked some kitchen stuff that had been in storage for over two years.


We have even had some guests coming over. Here are Mr. Frodo, Anna, Gunni and Tómas.

We are going to work on the place a little before we get our container from Seattle. We are going to paint the whole place and work on the surface of the hard wood floor. Hopefully we will be able to finish in time, before the container arrives in early January.

At Grandma's and Grampa's

Gunnar Magnus hangs out in the same high chair as his cousins. He does a lot of waving these days and shows how tall he is, when he is asked. Then he raises his hands above his head. Sometimes he even does a double trick and waves at the same time ;)


Cheerios are yummy.


Too cute....

Pictures from travelling

Here is Gunnar Magnus with his good travel companion, Elmo.


Drinking water is very important when you travel ;)


Plastic cups, plastic spoon and magazines were the favorite things to play with on the plane.

There are more pictures coming up, it just took forever to upload these. So, don't give up on me...

Iceland - We're here

Now we have landed in Iceland. It was quite a trip, not to mention for the 10 month old. He did very well on the way. He was fussy at the beginning of the first flight but then he got used to the situation and handled everything very well. I can't recommend Alaska Airlines, they took some of our handluggage away from us and they were going to take all of it, but after some begging and crying, we could take one bag! I have never before experienced such rudeness in the States, it was so annoying. Nice of them to take handbags of people with a small child... When we came on to the Iceland Air plane, they were so considerate. We got an infants life west, infant belt to strap on to our seat belts and a meal for Gunnar Magnus. The flight attendants were also always coming by to see how we were doing. What a great airline.

When we landed in Keflavik, we had a nice crowd of people welcoming us. Grampa Erlingur, Grandma Addý, Grandma Hildur and Aunt Stína. Mmmm... It was so nice to see them! Then we loaded the cars and drove to Reykjavík and had a nice breakfast/late night snack at Selbraut where Gunnar's parents live and we will be staying at, until we have our apartment ready. There was hot chockolate, fresh breads, cakes and cookies. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Then it was time to rest a little and we slept until 5 PM. Now it is 2 PM the next day and I have been awake since noon, but the Gunnars are still sleeping. I am gonna wake them up soon, because we have to get our hours straight, because Gunni starts working next Friday :S

I was going to post some pictures, but it doesn't work out at the moment, so they will come later..

Need a hand with the dishes?
