Today my main mission was taking a picture of Natalie and Diego in order to send it to family and friends for the Holidays. I asked Diego to put on his "fancy" jacket and he said: But my jacket is only for when I get married! Meaning that he only wears his jacket for parties, including weddings. I told him that taking this picture was going to be even better than getting married so he said: OK Mom.
We went to the garden and Diego started laughing and laughing because I said that he needed to be happy for the picture. It was contagious so Natalie and I started laughing as well. I could hardly hold the camera but fortunately I was able to take these four photos. The whole thing took about 2 minutes but it was sooo much fun!!!
So here is for you my friend and for all our relatives these pictures that I think capture the essence of how we feel right now. This has been a difficult year but also a year for growth and love. We're looking forward to the future. Wishing you and your family all the best from the bottom of our hearts!
The Horbergs :)
Bill, Elsa, Miro, Natalie and Diego.
(I still have the mission to take a picture that includes Miro as well, but he got a Winter job so today he's working. I will have a new photographic session when he's home with us. Miro is now A LOT taller than his own Dad, very soon he will be 20!!! :)
Hee hee! Love the pics Elsita!!! Can't believe how tall Diego is now! Happy Xmas to you all, :0) xxxx

I can almost hear you laughing over here in London, and can just imagine Diego applying himself to the challenge. Really beautiful children and photos. Happy Christmas to you Elsa, and your family xx

The kids look so happy there, Elsa! Even I would laugh with my children should they be in such a happy mood. I might even put the camera on timer and join them in the picture-taking!

He looks so cute in his fancy jacket and taking pictures in a beautiful lawn is no doubt better than getting married lol
