Sam & Suzie's Top Ten

Before posting Christmas 2014 and New Years I have two more posts from the busy Fall I wanted to get in (in a lame attempt to keep things orderly?!)

Sam & Suzie's Top Ten list from their first visit to Stockholm
September/October 2014
1.  Seeing the Castles in their new town. Pride in our nieces, who navigate the city like pros.
Sofia and Audra
Audra and Aunt Suzie in front of the Drama Theater
2.  Sofia's class singing Happy Birthday in many different languages. And the big birthday sleep over, it took five adults and two sisters to pull off.
Sofia's birthday meringues
3.  The Vasa and Nordiska museums.

4.  Gröna Lund (such a fun girl's day).
the Original sisters and the Junior sisters
one last swing
Aunt Jan trying to master the Fun House steps... it's not as easy as it looks!
Gabby and Audra in front of Insane (roller coaster)... Uncle Sam will have to do this next time
5.  Scotland with brothers from another mother.

Gordon, Marshall and Sam

6.  Fika at the Garage and Wienercafeet... such a civilized way of living.

7.  Wandering the streets of Gamla Stan.

8.  Cap'n Gordon taking us on a beautiful fall boat ride on the Baltic.
Djurgården canal
Jan, Sam and Suzie
9.  Meeting Nancy's expat friends, cooking lunch together, wine and conversation. Now we know how Nancy spends her days! (And why this blog post is so late!!)


Jan and Suzie put to work prepping lunch
soon to be grilled sandwiches
Lori and me in my favorite spot in Heidi's kitchen
three berry layer cake for dessert

10.  The Sprit Museum with the Original sisters. Only with your sisters should you drink vodka in the morning and then see an exhibit on Swedish Sex.
