Lille Jule Aften

Yesterday was Lille Jule Aften. We went to Connie and Daniel's place to eat, play games and sing. We had a great time!!! Here are some funny pictures:)







It began with æbleskiver and gløg *yum* We sung songs and then Peter played Julemanden and handed us gifts from under the tree:)











Here's a picture of Connie with the new cups that we gave her and Daniel. They really wanted tea cups without white inside of them (or coffee cups...which wasn't made clear at first....so we thought TEA cups....it's next to impossible to find tea cups without white....know where we found them? IKEA)








I was really excited cause I got GummiBoots!!! It can get quite wet and mucky here. And working with kids, we often go outside anyways. I just couldn't find boots that I liked (cause they can have CRAZY patterns here). But the ones that they got me are beautiful:)








Afterwards we spent time chatting, looking at what we got, drinking gløg. Here's a picture of Dave, Peter, and Mormor (with my hand in the bottom), comparing thumbs. Yes, cause that's what we do in this family...compare thumbs.





Then, of course, we ate a delicious Christmas dinner*yum yum* Here are Connie, Mormor, Peter, and Daniel at the table.










Finally, we played a raffle game where we role the dice and, if we role a six, we get a pick a gift from the pile on the table. When all of the gifts have been taken by those who roled six, a timer is put on for about 5-10min. During that time we take turns rolling the dice. If you role a six, you get to steal a gift from someone else. When the timer, what you have is what you get and you unwrap it. Of course, in the end, after we unwrapped the gifts, we traded:) I got the marcipan pig:):) I looooove marcipan.....so do Danes. They also love pigs. So for Christmas they have marcipan pigs.










Neways, I hope that your Christmases are filled with songs, laughter, friends, and family. We'll chat with you in the new year:)
