I've been talking about getting out of Umeå for a weekend or so for a while now. And I have. Last weekend me, Anton, Hannah and Simon went skiing/boarding. Loved it! Haven't been on a board for so long. Anyway. This weekend it was decided to go to my family's cabin for a chill and laid back quality time. It was that and at the same time not. Had a blast in any case. Here some images from our little hike we did on the nature reserve.
Meeting up with my dear friends Lisa and Simon and their new little addition to their family, Charlie for new year's eve. I have been spending quite a few times bringing in the new year with both Lisa and Simon, but this must have been the most calm and grown-up edition so far. I was acting as driver for my parents so it matched my intentions pretty well also. Lisa's sister Maja and her boyfriend Fredrik together with their little one, Seth made out the whole entourage. They were joking around how there were four adults and three children, counting me as a child.
Lisa and Maja served a wonderful four course dinner with some new elements I have never tasted together before. Simon acted as the game host afterwards. We played power-grid. I have heard and seen people play it before but since that time in Pajala when Tobias, Sofie and Johan where screaming and arguing over it I haven't had the opportunity to play it until now. Like it quite a lot. Shorty after I had to leave to pick up my parents from their dinner party, making me leave early (for new year).
Spending the holiday at home with the family. Forgetting about school and projects for awhile and enjoy the company of sisters and parents. Really appreciate these christmases. Small, cosy and traditional. The only thing I fet that where missing was the snow, which has been more and more lacking in its presence the recent years.
