Happy 2014! I hope that the holiday season was a happy and healthy one for all. 2013 wrapped up splendidly here.

We purchased the yarn and learned how to make these Icelandic sweaters on our last visit... we had to sport them on this visit!

Decorations

I couldn't help but love these! It looks like a branch blew up against the door in a gust of wind and stuck. The intense winds gusting around me helped me imagine this!

Tree deocration

The blurry photo is a testament to the wind! But again... loved the look of it smacked up against a building!

And here a tree just got stuck :)

And another tree...

Risky walking

Papa took to calling it "Rink-a-vik" as we skated along to various destinations!

Happy to be back

Bundled up!

Two weeks with the family
I'm so glad you had a nice visit from home. All the holiday decorations make it special and vibrant. I laughed when I heard your father was measuring the shadow angles...that is priceless. We are who we are! Your Iceland blog was one of the first blogs we read when doing our research for our trip to Iceland. We long to return to those healing waters of the blue lagoon. Happy New Year and happy travels.
