Fika



I'm sure I've talked about our monthly Fikas before. Sanne and I get together with several old and new friends to talk about parenting, spend time together and enjoy great food. This month we had our Fika at a park nearby. Our friend Amanda and her daughter Ella came from Sweden for a visit so they were able to stop by too.

Ali, Linnea, Amanda and I have been close friends for over 12 years and have gone through many things together: working at summer camp together in high school, college at North Park, exchange program in Sweden, all four weddings and now four little girls. Amanda brought each baby/toddler a Pippi shirt . . . so sweet!





I am so thankful to have these wonderful women as friends and to know that Sanne has some pretty fantastic girlfriends already too!

Thanks for posting the adorable pics! It was so much fun to see you and Sanne. I love the picture of Sanne and Ella up close. Ella is going to be a good big sister. Thanks for the kind words too. I thank God for your friendships too. Have a great time at the cabin!
