Today is the Swedish celebration of St. Lucia Day. I remember learning about St. Lucia as a child. I have always loved the story. And I'm a tad bit obsessed with Scandinavian culture as it is, so this is a fun one (for me) to observe! Today we will be making St. Lucia rolls and perhaps some Dalahast ornaments. I also have visions of Moonpie in a little lighted wreath around her head- we'll see how that goes!
In celebration of St. Lucia day (ok- not really), we went to IKEA on Saturday. We bought something HUGE that I can't wait to show you!
This is how I rode the whole way home from Austin. That sucker went all the way to the back of the car! John and the children were on the other side. We had a lot of conversations like this "Oh guys! Check out that _________!!!" To which they would respond "Where? Where?" To which I would respond "Oh, never mind." It was such a lonely way to travel the almost 2 hours back home. At first. Then I discovered that it was almost a mini-vacay! I got to play Tetris on John's phone and wasn't interrupted even once! Can you imagine? I couldn't even pass a snack back! Oh- and I may have gotten to level 13- just in case you were wondering.
