Season celebrations - some people celebrate Christmas, some new year, some other celebrate both and through all week there are celebrations going on. In our family there is yet another very important day in between those two - the birthday of Irina (!!!). She was lucky to be born in the meadle of season celebrations and because of that, her birthday is always hidden by the importants of the listed above celebrations. This ear was special, Irina has got TWO parties for her birthday, she also got presents and a lot of attention from her fiends. Some of our friends on the base have spontaniously visited us on Irina's birthday and we had spontanious supper with them. The next day we had some more friends visiting us and we had some fika (lite meal in Swedish) and played some games. It was so exciting to see my beloved wife shining with happiness and joy. 

I believe that I didnt say Merry Christmas and Happy new year yet? So I do:

Happy Birthday Jesus! Happy Birthday Irina! Happy Birthday New 2009!

Phew, better late than never.
