How Swede It Is!

Joe is of Swedish descent, and we always visit the American Swedish Institute each winter when it is decorated for Christmas. We brought a friend along this time, and spent our day laughing at Pippi Longstocking, making thing-finders, hunting for Tomte, admiring tile work and wood work, and playing in the Swedish bakery!

 Thing-finders!

 Drawing Tomte.

Pippi makes us laugh. Notice the shadow of the girl with the Pippi braids?  
 

 The Turnblad Mansion is so beautiful.

  
Preparing Swedish treats and...

 
Selling baked goods for Krona!

 Santa Lucia.

We always have such a good time there!
