Uncle Mats

Introducing Mats’s niece and nephew: Emil and Elvira.  Mats is a very proud “Morbror” (Uncle). 

Emil likes spiderman, the movie Cars, and being really wild and crazy.  Sometimes when he talks, he likes to through in some English words here and there, which I don’t mind at all!

Elvira enjoys blocks.  She is really smily. 

 

 

*FUN SWEDISH FACT:  In Sweden, uncles, aunts, and grandparents  are called different things depending on whether they’re relatives of the mother or father.  I think that’s pretty cool.  Then you never have to say “Grandpa Eldon and Grandpa Bob”….you just say “Morfar and Farfar”.  And you never have to ask someone :”Is that aunt your dad or mom’s sister?”  The name says it all!
