Moments to cherish

We love traditions, but this year instead of Santa you will have an opportunity to meet our beloved Bear in the photo corner. He will gladly take photos with anyone who wants to.
Look for Bear and photographer at the Swedish restaurant. A moment of patience, please, and your photo print-out will be ready for you to frame.
