Not exactly how we planned it...

Well, it wasn't exactly how we planned Christmas 2009. We arrived at the airport in Stavanger at 5:30am Monday morning (21st) to learn that our flight to Amsterdam had been cancelled. To make a long story VERY short, we weren't able to get flights out (long haul between Europe and USA) until Christmas Eve! As I write this, we are soon headed to bed because the taxi comes to collect us at 8:45am in the morning (24th) for Round 2. Pray that we make it safely as Tulsa is now expecting winter weather!

Despite our disappointments (HUGE), we decided to make the best of it. We still had this beautiful winter wonderland of snow; so, Tim and Lexi played in the snow Monday afternoon while I went to finish the last minute Christmas shopping that I had planned to do in Tulsa. We then packed an overnight bag and headed to Feda on Tuesday morning. We met up with one of Tim's closest buddies (Arne) and his son (Sverre) for some sledding and cookies.

Lucky Lexi also got to decorate her third Christmas tree of the season (one at home, one at barnehage and. one at Lajla's). She and Luna had loads of fun hanging all of the ornaments on the tree Tuesday night and sledding today. Enjoy the pics!
