A Little Christmas

Today is the first Sunday in Advent, and we lit candles and put up some Christmas decorations. Since I got my own house I've really enjoyed decorating little by little through December.

This Morning

Waiting

There is a lot of waiting going on lately. Mostly wating for a baby, but also for Christmas. I find myself very in tune with the shops Christmas-preparations this year. Not when it comes to buying presents, but the comfort of slowly getting into the mood.

Now it has to be said that in Stavanger Christmas doesn't appear to early unless you go looking for it. And that's why I like it.

So while I'm waiting I'm off to buy little trinkets for Little Mans Advent calender. A gift a day. Nothing huge. For December.

... and maybe some more Chrismas decorations.

Sunday Morning

It's Fathers day here in Norway, and we celebrated with a Dad Sleep In and a colourful breakfast spread.

Asparagus for breakfast was a bit too much flavour for Big Man in the morning, but for me it was delicious. Probably because I'd already been up for a couple of hours and was starving.

Best Evening Meal

Whole grain bread with loads of pumpkin seeds topped with avocado, tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil and loads of salt and pepper.

In Norway most families eat at around four to five in the arvo. I always get a bit peckish at night, and it's all about finding those healthy, but also satisfying, evening meals.

For me a bit of avocado goes a long way, and I find a bit of acidity from lemon or tomatoes (or in this case both) really does the trick.
