 I guess Christmas is coming up… .
 
 Oscar invited us to the bakery after dinner.
 
 He had prepared some dough for Christmas cookies as well as Glögg (the Swedish version of Glühwein).
 
 
  
 
  
 This was a great evening! Oscar made a gingerbread-house which looks like his own house in Sweden!
 
 
  
 A lot of cookies were made and John Gerrit, Yuriy and Stephanie were really busy decorating them.
 
 
  
 
  
 Mikaela was in charge of the oven.
 
 
  
 
  
 Oh – and Esther and I also made a gingerbread house – not to be compared with Oscars house, though.
 
 
  
 
  
 
 We had a lot fun snacking here and there, admiring each other’s work, enjoying a glass or two of Glögg and listening to Oscars repertoire of three Christmas songs, playing on auto repeat.
