the 10th Anniversary

We took our 10th anniversary trip to Tallinn, Estonia. We have developed a habit of visiting a new beautiful city on each anniversary. Previously always in Finland, but since our marriage goes on and on, we are running out of beautiful Finnish cities... =) (We are open for recommendations if you have one in mind - it has to be one that neither one of us is previously too familiar with ) Besides this, the 10th anniversary was a good reason to stretch the qualifications.

We had three relaxing days in Tallinn, eating nice, shopping and seeing the beautiful Old City - and enjoying the great company of just the two of us. Here are some pics.

Graduation banquet

Sarita's sister, Heidi, graduated from high school, and the families got together for a celebration. We had a great time seeing the extended family and some friends. The weather was beautiful - luckily so, because just the families counted over 120. Congratulations, Heidi, and thank you for a great banquet.


Here's the whole tribe - Sarita's family - the parents, their four daughters and a son with their spouses and kids, missing only the oldest of the youngest generation, Aleksi, who had to leave early


The kids, the cousins and second cousins - of which here's a fraction - had a more of a sporty party. It surely wasn't the most phlegmatic and mute reunion, but they got along great.


Here's the two girls of the ten cousins, Sofia and Olivia.
