Sankta Lucia.

Sankta Lucia = Saint Lucia.

Here is the picture of the children's Christmas tree at the daycare. :) We've decided that we have to go ahead and purchase a new camera. As you'll see the pictures look awful. If we don't replace it then we won't have any good pictures for Christmas. We're certain the camera will be ½ price after Christmas.. but not much we can do about it.


The children were adorable. :) They sang a few songs, including Itsy Bitsy Spider (Which is Leia's favorite). :)) Plus the regular Lucia songs. It was only the 2 teachers that sang. :)) A few of the children danced and one did lots of hand motions. :) Leia sat on Anna-Karin's lap the whole time. :)) We were just glad she didn't scream. :))


Afterwards we had a "fika." We had juice, tea, coffee, and then the children had made gingerbread cookies and Lussekatt. The Lussekatt were in very odd shapes and sizes.. :)) But they were yummy! They are the FIRST Lussekatt that I've eaten!! Not in 10 years have I ever eaten a Lussekatt. Which is because of my husband.. he won't eat them, because of the two raisins...... Then we realized that the Lussekatt had NO saffron... they weren't yellow at all and the taste wasn't there. So, in all actuality, I STILL haven't eaten my first Lussekatt..... I told Fredrik that I should bake some, and he said, "No." Because he won't eat any of them..... Doesn't mean I can't freeze them.

Leia ran around and played with the other children. She demanded everyone's attention... She is a charmer, that is for sure. She would prance around and walk up to people and pretend to be shy and then smile... :) Even the 10 year old boys that were there with their siblings were giving her tons of attention.
