Souvenirs

This year the agreement was no gift except for the kids.
We understood that kids meant Nora and Oskar. My parents had a different understanding. They had gifts for their children, their partners and grandchildren. Basically for everyone.
In an attempt to defend themselves they argued that those were not gifts but souvenirs. In other words that each time they travelled somewhere and saw something their "children" would like they bought it.
There were paintings from Brittany, earrings from Italy, Chinese names from Singapore, nanoblock Lego from Paris and many more.
Funny enough some of us did something similar as Joy bought deer nanoblock Lego in Helsinki, we had a photo of my parents with Oskar printed on a canvas, and many more.
Nora and Oskar were totally spoiled simply because it's hard to resist. And the grown-ups were not forgotten :)
Thank you everyone for all the souvenirs and especially coming all the way to Chantilly to create memories. 
The times when we are altogether are now too rare given we are spread over three continents. As you can imagine we made the most of every second.
