On Monday, Grace's class celebrated her birthday. It is traditional in Norway to make a crown for the birthday child. Grace's teacher showed me great pictures of the class singing to Grace and giving her hugs.

The crew gathers round to watch Grace open the presents that came in the mail from grandparents. Minutes before, Sam got something in his eye that wouldn't come out (more about that later), so that's why he has the towel on his face. His friend Adrian was over to play after school. Adrian looks so angelic here - it was school picture day. |

Oh, my - a new baby doll from Minnesota! Grandma Strei also sent a Minnesota Vikings sweatshirt for each kid. Luckily, Norwegians aren't aware of how bad the Vikings are this season. |

Grace knew just what to do. |
