Sandra and I had tried to meet a couple of times in the last weeks, so I could take pictures of her family. But every single scheduled time, the rain was pouring down, and it was so dark - it felt like there was no day at all. But we were stubborn, and decided to meet at New Year's, before the dinner parties. It was our last shot, because tonight is my last night in Sweden before my year-long New Zealand trip. I'm glad we were persistent, because when I woke up at New Year's Eve, I knew it was gonna be a beautiful day. The sun was present for the first time in weeks. And we also got the first frost of the year.

So yesterday I _finally_ got to meet the lovely family. Two energetic and laughing boys, with two easy-going parents. It was a great mix. Here's how it turned out.
