cold and white birthday

This comes late now that my birthday was 18th of december. At such a time more people had travelled home from the city to be with their families during Christmas...this is actually a similarity to kenya, only that here the transport system is more coordinated than back home.
But back to my birhday, i went ice skating for my first time...its hard at the beginning but managed to walk on skates before the end. Thanks to Hilde and Anna, they held me until i was able to stand on my own. Also went for a walk with Fransizka to the woods, but it was too cold. I must say I enjoyed the gift of friends. Its a great blessing.



me at the woods, and its so cold

Eventful December

In advent month, had alot of parties to go; Juletre fest(christmas tree partywith many friends), Julebord(Christmas party for board members in the Christian Union group), Julelunsj(Christmas Lunch at the laget office) among others.
It was a good time of getting together to share a meal, and talk together, go round the christmas tree singing christmas songs.

December..........advent

Here is the month of December, its nice to see how Christmas is really waited for. Purple is the colour of the season of ADVENT, which means waiting .
The candles in the house are changed to purple, even in the shops, you will notice something is happening. Decorations are also purple. But in the shops, its more of red clothes and decorations which is the colour that will be used for the christmas day and as it draws nigh.
Its also getting colder and I have alot of christmas parties to attend to. here we go, the december month...
