Now that we are settled in a bit more here, we decided to head to the toy store and do some Christmas shopping for the kids. Just what we need ... more toys but I can deny the grandparents their right to spoil their grandchildren. ;) Davin, Irene and I went to the store together while Fredrik stayed home with Linnea since she was napping. Farfar went ahead of us since he wanted to look at a few baby gates and other items. One of the first toys Davin zeroed in on was the Legos. I said no since Farmor had given us all of Fredrik's old legos so we really have enough now. Then Davin wanted a Lego Batman set which I also said no to. I pointed out it had an age range of 8-12 and he was too young for it. Then we went around the store looking for items that said 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 instead. I saw they had some sort of car garage thing and thought it might be similar enough to the one we bought for Ebbe. Davin also found a musical instrument set and I told him to pick that or the garage. Irene had a good idea of picking a favorite instrument and buying just one instrument toy. He picked the trumpet. He also picked a toy out for Linnea too ... a box that you can sort shapes into. We also got a little push cart for her as well since there really isn't anything for her to push/walk with here.
We headed out to lunch after toy shopping so Fredrik and Linnea joined us since she was awake. Davin however pitched a fit when we got there and I don't really know why. He might have had some gas since he was complaining that his tummy hurt but I didn't have any medicine with me ... it was in Linnea's diaper bag and Fredrik hadn't arrived yet. I also think he must have been hungry too. He spent most of the meal pouting and crying so Farfar, Fredrik and Davin left early to take him home. He was probably also tired which didn't make a great combination.
Katrin and her son Rikard arrived later to visit with us too. Davin was in a much better mood when they arrived and the two boys had fun playing together. I don't know how old Rikard is but my guess is about 13? It's funny because they had fun playing together the last time we were here too. At some point Henrik arrived to visit and he is Fredrik's half-brother along with Per who is his youngest half-brother. Although, Per might have arrived the day before to visit ... it's hard to remember now. We gave both half-brothers their Christmas presents ... Google black zip hoodies. I think they liked it. Katrin got a small family photo with Santa. We gave Irene and Olle their gifts the day before. A framed family photo, coffee, a 1/4 zip fleece jacket from Google, a shirt for Irene and jewelry. It was a good day even if everything is starting to blend together.
