It's the day before Dad's 75th birthday. Sitting in his favourite chair, he's currently watching some old movie on TV.

Erika has dough rising for dinner rolls.

Olof is helping to work the dough.

And - voilá!

Next morning, December 26, is very quiet and peaceful with the Swedish flag hanging off its pole.

For this open house day, we have Emmelie and Jonas tending the bar.

The catered food is quite easy to bring out and serve. We all help out there.

Emma, the cat, knows how to enjoy a good party.
She didn't even care for chocolate.
