Grace and Isaac spent the morning reading books together.  In preparation for our return, I washed the cover to the couch, so all week we had a sheet over the now clean couch to protect it from any unfortunate spills.

We tried another sleepover with Adrian the next night.  Same story.  The boys had great fun, but then Adrian couldn't get to sleep.  Another early morning pick up from his mom.  Sorry, Tania! 

Adrian brought over his gingerbread house and the kids all got to share in its destruction. 

We had a great meal at the home of our friends Mike and Pam.  They just moved into a new house with an awesome view of the fjord.

The kids were completely entertained by some dancing game on the xbox.  The adults were pretty entertained watching them.

We played two rounds of Blokus.  Dave sacrificed his strategy to let Isaac make some moves.

Our two families (picture taken by Adrian).  We will really miss these guys.  They keep planting sneaky ideas in our heads about doing what they did - come to Trondheim for a year, and then decide it is so great that we move there for good.  We shall see, we shall see...
