Weekend of Julebord and other fun

It was my company's Christmas party Friday. It is more like a nice luncheon with drinks and we all get to leave work early, which is nice. Matt and I was suppose to go to a friends house that night but it was just too cold and snowy out so we tried to get a car from the 'car share program' that we belong too.. but it ended up us waiting about 40 min in a cold garage and no one came with the car.. so we were pretty grumpy and never went to our friends house. Instead we went to the movies and saw the movie "Juno" which was really cute. Saturday was a really busy day. We started out with running down to the museum and helped put things in order for the Julebord, which is the annual Scandinavian Christmas party, after that we went home too cook food for it. I mad meatballs (thank you IKEA), oven-baked potatoes and egg halves with caviar. My brother, Niclas and his wife Autumn and their friend Scott also came over and we had a little mini-Christmas and then we all went to the party. The Julebord was a lot of fun (as always). We had lots of good Scandinavian food and lots of snaps and drinking songs. I also got to do the "speech to the men" this year. I was a bit nervous but I really think it turned out ok. After dinner we dances to some ABBA and Ace of Base. Good times. Sunday was mostly spent laying around being lazy. The only productive thing I did was to finally finish all my Christmas cards. I actually think they will arrive before Christmas this year.

The only sad thing with the party was that we took lots of photos but for some reason when we checked the camera Sunday most of them were deleted. I blame too much snaps and my husband (hi hi), he claims I probably deleted them.. Anyway, here are at least 2 of the photos that were still on the camera. One of me and the "Swedish girls" and one of Niclas, Autumn and Scott with a massive amount of empty beer bottles in front of them.
