Christmas at Liseberg!

I have been wanting to visit Liseberg during Christmas for years now and this year, we finally did!!

So on a freezing (-17 degrees!!!!!) ...

and hazy winter day, off we went to drop Polly off at my mother-in-law's place before continuing the journey down south to Göteborg (Gothenburg). 

Many of the rides were not open due to the cold.  But the skating rink was and the bunnies are out to play!

The biggest Christmas tree I have ever seen! 

Merry Christmas with Sima!

The lighting was beautiful and the atmosphere was so cozy.

And we saw a small elf running up and down a small trail!

The main attraction was the Christmas market.  There were stalls selling candies, Christmas wreathes, handicrafts, chocolates, candies, sill (a kind of pickled fish) and oh, did I mention candies?

My oldest and youngest.  My boys are good lookers! ^o^

Saw giant cinnamon buns selling at 39kr (about S$7.10) each.

We wanted to have our dinner in this restaurant which was designed like a train station, but we were too many (we were 7, including our dear friend Sima) and they couldn't find a table to fit us all.  So we went to another place where they had Christmas buffet and the food so good that I forgot to take pictures.... >.<"

No one could resist a hug when it was so cold! HUG!

Chris was quite spooked by the green rabbit since we visited during the summer.  He has been afraid of rabbit since then.  However, he seemed to be quite ok to reconcile with the green rabbit again, though he had a little bit of a "shock" look on his face after the hug...

"Hejdå kanin." ("Goodbye rabbit.") said Chris.  Such a sweet boy!

Ok, this rabbit looked like she was pointing at me (or was she flipping her finger at me?!) but she was actually doing a thumb-up at me!

The trees were all covered with light bulbs! Really pretty! Must be a lot of work putting up and taking down.

Of course my hubby wanted us to take a picture with that tree.... but can anybody really see us?? So tiny......

We stayed over at Sima's place and drove up to my mother-in-law's place to dump drop the kids (except for Chris) coz they're having their yearly Christmas workshop at grandma's house, where they will do some craft and bake some cookies.  Finally some "quiet" moments for hubby and me.  We did more (never ending!) Christmas shopping, clean the apartment and put up the decorations at home.  And it's time to pick up the children tomorrow! How time flies!

Merry Christmas from all of us!
