god jul!!

we are all very excited as Christmas is getting closer (: we went skiing on thursday (WOOHOO!! I will try to get some photos up asap) and helped set up the (REAL!) Christmas tree tonight. we also ate some traditional norwegian 'rice pudding' thing for dinner which was YUM!! I have so much more to write about but we have been super busy and I'm always so tired when we get home :P I will try to fill you all in on what I've missed very soon (:

oh and these biscuits are called 'pepperkake' and are a WAY yummier version of gingerbread that I have fallen in love with and chels&I made today. not surprisingly she was much better at decorating so these ones are hers (:

missing you all, especially as christmas gets closer!! much love xx

IN THE MOTHERLAND!!!

WOOHOO!!! we arrived in Norway yesterday afternoon (around 12:30pm on the 14th of December) and caught the train from Oslo to Hortern (dads home town). we were lucky enough to see it snowing most of the train ride!! dads relatives, Eugen & Anneta, picked us up and drove us to the house we are staying in (: Eugen & Wenche have the most gorgeous house near the bay in Hortern and we are super pleased to be staying with them. Chels & I are very excited to be meeting our rellies for the first time and can't wait to explore more (: I will try to upload some photos ASAP.
we are missing everyone very very much, lots of love Maddie & the rest xxxx

me, almost dead.

one day on trek I was feeling very sick and after taking almost double the estimated time to reach our tea house (seriously, I was almost dead) we FINALLY arrived and then I slept for about 5hours while the rest of the crew ate lunch, enjoyed the nearby hot springs and started on dinner.
