Before we left Atlanta, Emily said they would visit at Thanksgiving. Since being here we have come to know that is a very Swedish thing to do... if you suggest a get together or to make plans for something, Swedes will whip out a calendar and schedule it right away (no empty promises!)! So, Emily and Ella Bennett arrived Friday, November 22 for a four day whirlwind visit of Stockholm.

| Care package extraordinaire! |
- Gordon and Gabby's smiling faces and the airport. Gabby and Ella's endless giggles and chatter on the ride home
A wake up call from Lucy - Ice Skating! Watching Gabby and Audra skate together, then Audra graduate to skating by herself.
Funny little changing huts at Kungstradgarden 
Ella warming up 
I am going to savor this moment! - Nancy's cooking and outstanding tour guide service
the itinerary
City Hall where the Noble Prize dinner will be next week
Dala horse at City Hall 
- Dinner at Paolo and Aldo's with Josefin and Rickard
- Lanterns and candles outside shops - love that Swedes embrace the dark
- Sofia directing me the 1 mile through downtown to school
- Vasa Museet, the Palace and walking the tiny streets of Gamla Stan
Opening of Gamla Stan's Christmas Market 
Trying out the merchandise 
Christmas shopping - Walk around Djurgarden ending with Flickorna Cafe
- Thai restaurant on Nybrogatan with over the top decor and color lights
- Public transportation and walking everywhere
Always up for an athletic challenge the girls run up a very long, out-of-order escalator... it seemed like a good idea at the bottom! - Beautiful sunsets - something about the water and architecture and the glow that time of day (it's the clean air!)

| Okay, so this is at Cafe Saturnus... had to branch out! |
