Merry Christmas 2015!



This comes way too late, but: Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with plenty of food!

I've been terribly busy past week so I didn't get the time to finish my Christmas drawing on time. I had a total of 5 Christmas parties to attend. It started the 23rd with a Christmas party from my mom's family. I spent Christmas eve with Yannick's mother, brother and grandmother. On Christmas morning we had breakfast with my close family at dad's place and in the afternoon a Christmas party with dad's family. At last, yesterday, a Christmas party with mom's boyfriend's children.
Yannick attended all of them with me, for which I'm really grateful. He even seemed to like them... Strange person.

I didn't take many pictures but I did take pictures of all my (our) gifts!



After pushing Yannick for a while we put a Christmas tree a week before Christmas on Yannick's apartment. I'm so happy with it!

Since I wanted a star on top Yannick made one out of cardboard and tinfoil. It looks so good!

Leyna made this Christmas tree for the Christmas breakfast. It's made with puff pastry and Nutella.

Picture update

Yannick decided we should make our favourite kind of pie ourselves so we did! Here's half a bresilienne pie. It's a flan with whipped cream and bresilienne nuts.

Sushi salad! It's basically a mix of some sushi ingredients. Yummy.

During the autumn holidays me and Yannick went to the country side. My dad and Ingrid were there already so we went by train.

Beautiful weather and pretty brown cows.

School started again and since me and Yannick both think bread is boring for lunch we decided to make onigiri. We made two kinds so far, with tuna and with chicken. They're not difficult to make and fun to eat!

Right before updating my blog I decided to take some pictures of the goats. It's really difficult.

Hermine and Febe.

I've been playing some kind of quiz game on my phone with Gabriella, Yannick's father and a bunch of random people. Here are some funny questions.

Damn beautiful Sweden

From 9 until 13 November I spent my time bothering Gabriella in Sweden. It was a short visit but I enjoyed it a lot. We didn't visit much this time but we went on two beautiful walks in a forest nearby Gabriella's house. Naturally almost all pictures are from those walks... Next time we'll make bigger walks and go to a viking town!




In the compartment in the back of the seat in front of me I found the ticket of the previous person that sat on my seat. Was kinda cool to see although it's kinda sad that he forgot his ticket since he had a connection flight...

The air was really clear when I left for Sweden so I could watch the ground for a really long time.

In the bus.

Zune sleeping between me and Gabriella.

We only needed to walk 10-15 minutes to reach this forest near Gabriella's house. The first time we followed a really thin trail, the second time we went looking for bronze age remains. We took Zune with us on both walks and we let him walks loose. It was amazing to see how Zune enjoyed his freedom and ran around, back and forth, while we followed the path.
The sun sets really early in Sweden now so the sun was already really low when we took our walks.

There were a lot of rocks with cool white moss.

Break on a pretty high rock.

The forest is surrounded by water so you can't really get lost.

There was a lot of variation through the forest which was pretty cool. Some parts were really rocky, some had pine trees while other parts were through birch trees.
