While Helsinki provided some city fun, and visiting Santa was a real treat, there was tons more to do in Finland, and specifically the Arctic Circle, where the lows got down to a chilling 5 degrees. But, armed with warm winter gear and the occasional hot chocolate or spiked gloggi, we were good to go!

Thanks for sharing! You are all so brave to vacation to a colder climate! What a wonderful experience for you and the kids. I enjoyed observing the back ground. The reindeer pictures and Colin and Owen are just too precious. This trip must of been AMAZING!!!
