A Swedish Christmas

This year we got to experience some Swedish traditions with Filip!

In Sweden they typically open their presents on Christmas Eve and so we opened all the presents that Filip had for us on Christmas Eve.

Then next, Filip heated up some Glogg which is like a Christmas drink.

Then he filled up some glasses and we all did a toast!! We all thought that the Glogg was really good and told him that we might just have to make this our family tradition to have Glogg on Christmas Eve!!!

For Christmas we are going to enjoy some Swedish meatballs!!! Thanks to Filip's parents for sending all of the wonderful gifts.

Clint's First Triathlon

Here is Clint on the morning of the big day preparing his drinks. Clint did so awesome on his first triathlon finishing in the top eight percent. Out of 440!!!

This is the first part where he swam 400 meters.

Next came a ten mile bike ride

Then last a three mile run.

Filip and Spencer got so excited about the triathlon that they stripped down to their underwear and jumped in the pool where they were immediately ejected from the pool area by the lifeguard.
