National Lampoon's Parkes' Christmas

In a blind stupor (kidding) i decided to invite the family over to Oslo for christmas...with promises of a 'white winter wonderland christmas'...well...it did thank fully snow. so my mum, peter, my big bro neil and his now fiance nicola came over, plus shanna, a canadian friend from japan who obviously had nothing better to do, which meant 4 people staying in a small 1 bedroomed apartment...needless to say my back is still sore from sleeping on the floor for a week to let the couple have the only bed. anyway...i'll let the pictures do most of the talking (like india...too many pictures and stories to type before next christmas)

of note: 1, trying to do the japanese 2 fingered greeting with mittens on doesnt really work! 2. the ice rink in oslo centre. 3, the tree with 13 bird houses on?????
