'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, nothing was stiring. Not even a mouse...
We had a lovely afternoon and evening with Randi's Mom and brother. The children really love it when they visit because they get extra story time!!! Hurray!
Our dinner was roast Duck with all that comes with it. And then the Traditional Danish Rice Pudding/dessert with hot Cherry Sauce.
During dinner Santa rang the door bell to let us know that the neighbours had dropped off a bag of presents. Nice of him.
After dinner we lit the candles which are on the christmas tree and the children were allowed to come in! Wow!
Then we opened our gifts. Each person got a gift and the others watched them open it. It is a much more controlled way of doing it and we feel it gives a better sense of 'worth'.
The grown-ups got what they wanted and the children were happy about what they got so that was good. They each got a chalk-board from 'Oma' which they enjoy a lot. Some lovely cloths; a silver spoon each(!), some new Dvd's, and many other great things. Thanks to all!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
