The last couple of days before Winterfest go by calmly, with lots of family activities. These kids all love music as much as they love playing outside.
Edvard is really busy at work, but not too busy to make sure he spends quality time with his kids.
Ylva and Titania's daughter Meriam is now an active, happy toddler.
She has her own large room with every tog she could ever wish for.
Her mothers make sure she gets the best, healthiest food and learns all toddler skills perfectly.
They don't plan on having any more children, so they want to make Meriam the best possible start for a successful life. And in other news: Ylva has gone back to her natural hair color.
It's new year's eve, and they're throwing a countdown party for some friends. Both of Ylva's sisters are there and seem to be getting along fine despite their history.
After lots of fancy drinks and food, confetti and countdown-TV, they continue to dance and party into the new year.
While their butler is cleaning the apartment the day after the party, Ylva and Titania take Meriam out to a park to meet up with aunt Susan and her three kids. The twin boys have grown so much!
Meriam is more interested in the ball pit than in her relatives. But since she's an only child, it's going to be nice for her to have some contact with her cousins in Del Sol Valley.
Since finishing her degree, Titania has been working as a lecturer at the university. She spends a fair amount of time planning her lectures and writing scholarly papers. She is also working on some book ideas about archaeology, as well as recording archaeology videos.
In addition to the practical artifact-videos she's also recording intellectual vlogs and online lectures.
It's time for another Selvadorada vacation! Dhruv the butler is going to look after Meriam a few days so her mothers can venture around in the jungle looking for artifacts and treasures.
They've rented a more luxurious cabin this time, up in some trees close to the jungle entrance.
And so the adventure begins! This place is so beautiful, and they find so many amazing things. Thye've learned to protect themselves very well from all the jungle dangers.
After a long day of treasure hunting it's time to head back to their tree house.
Edvard and Agathe have done some changes to the Goth-house. Mainly, they've torn down the wall between the kitchen and the living room to get a more open space.
It's still early spring and pretty cold outside, but Edvard has started a little bit of gardening.
Edvard has climbed all the way to the top in politics and become a national leader. That makes him important enough to be allowed to celebrate his birthday at the Von Haunt Estate.
Lots of people are there to celebrate him, and it's a wonderful evening.
The next day it's time for a family day at the park. The kids find lots of things to do, and Edvard is approached by some fans who want photos and autographs.
Rosalin is trying to train Werter to sit, so far with moderate success.
Agathe takes Johannes home in the afternoon, but Edvard stays out with the girls to camp by the river. The very same spot he used to camp with his father and sister growing up.
When they get home the next day, it's time to focus on some of the homework for next week.
Edvard comes home at the same time as the children every day, so he usually joins them in some activity. Their favorite is the foosball table, although it's hard to be on the losing team.
When the weather allows it, they take their after school game out back at the basketball court.
