The Stavdals

Over a week after turning eleven, Thomas threw a birthday party to which all the boys in his class at school were invited. No girls this year. It was his own choice to serve the guests veggie-and turkey hot dogs, and ice-cake for dessert. After singing "Happy Birthday" and the food-phase of the celebration, watching "Bruce Almighty" more or less consumed the remaining time of the party. Judging by giggling and laughter throughout the film, Jim Carrey's aptitude for comedy definitely appealed to them, and they appeared to catch the serious themes of the movie as well.

Thomas fancies involvement in a broad variety of activities, particularly skiing. He got skate-skiis for Christmas and classic skiis for his birthday. Now he can enjoy speeding along the tracks with the rest of Tromsø ski-club where he practices twice a week.

A noticable change from the actual day of his birthday to the celebration with his class. was that of his hair style. Long hair has been popular among the boys in his class for quite some time, but last week he reached the piont where a preference to a shorter style took the upper hand. So the hair dresser scissored away. See for yourself.
