Lahti Ski Games 2013

Let's skip a few smaller updates and fast forward a few months, shall we.. It was the perfect weather in Salpausselkä, for enjoying the Lahti Ski Games.

Christmas time @ Laajavuori

Sometimes it's nice to take things easy and let other people take care of all the Christmas arrangements. Last Christmas we were relaxing in Jyväskylä, Laajavuori spa hotel for a few days. There was lots and lots of snow this time!

Wait, I think I saw an elf.. ;)

Christmas trip ahead!

Next, we'll not be heading towards the romantic Helsinki for Christmas shopping, but driving in nice arctic winter weather towards the north..

Christmas land @ Saari

Traditional visit to the Saari "Christmas land" event.


Open Door Day at the local fire station

Fun, and also education for the whole family. Held annually, every November.

Winter schedules for the trains

I generally enjoy winter time, but there's one thing I'm not particularly fond of - when there's a lot of snow, the trains are usually late.

This picture is from late November last year.

Angry Birds shop

Wow - while doing Christmas shopping I bumped into this "little" shop in the Kamppi shopping center. It's the "first permanent Angry Birds shop in Finland" according to Google search. I don't remember if I actually bought anything, but for some reason I decided to take a picture for the blog. Hmm.
