We wish you a very peaceful Christmas season and blessed new year 2012. Alex just told us that we should remind all the readers that they should put up a Christmas tree and some lights as we have already done.
This summer we had a privilege to visit in Lapland where we used to visit once a year and where we were also engaged some 27 years ago. So after 18 years since our last visit there we returned to Lapland with Alex spending some week and a half doing all kinds of outdoor activities. One day Alex took a kids' introductory course of climbing. He was (as were mom and dad) thrilled to do that kind of cool thing with all necessary cool equipment.
This is just a sample of Alex's kitchen creations; a blueberry pastry (pulla) with fresh strawberries.
Alex got the baker's costume and other kitchen stuff as his 4-year birthday gift. This was not the only occasion when he has worn it; they are often in use as Alex is eager baker. As you see from another picture.
