Parenthood brings great joy to Christian and Elisabeth.

Christian Karlsson

Mia rides on her father’s shoulders as the family returns home.

The Karlssons enjoy a favorite game called “family knot.” To play, everyone stands in a circle and holds hands while one person, designated as the “fixer,” leaves the room. The people in the circle jumble up their positions without breaking their grasp. The “fixer” then has to untangle the family knot.

Mikkel and Mia hug after the family home evening activity. Spending time together has created strong ties within the Karlsson family.

Mia leads her family on an outing to a grove of trees in their neighborhood.

The Karlssons stop at a playground. Mats (right) peers up into the fir trees while talking to his brothers, Magnus (left) and Mikkel (center right).

Christian and his children look through family photographs. Christian is grateful for the opportunity he has to connect his children to their ancestors.
