New Year 2007

This year we were down in Odense where Peter and Kirsten hosted a New Year's party.


The host with the most (Peter) with Jorun and Henrik.


Aaron, Kirsten and Jesper.


The night always begins with the Queen's New Year's speech. This year she remarked clearly about the crisis with the Muhammed Cartoons and gave instructions to us immigrants that although it is difficult we should try hard to be integrated. Good advice... thanks Queenie!



In Danmark, we look to the clock on the town hall in Copenhagen to mark midnight.


Then the firework go crazy. There are so many fireworks and it is everywhere!

I also have a little video here.



Hey, that's our car!!!


Peter and I clouded in smoke.


Skål and happy new year!

Christmas 2006

We spent Christmas in Kolding with the family. This year we held Christmas at Anne Mette and Michael's new house.

Here are some clips from Christmas Eve... This is the typical Danish Christmas with a big dinner on Christmas Eve. After dinner candles are lit on the tree and then we dance around the tree singing Christmas carols. Sometimes there is a surprise visit from a jolly, old man and only then do we get into the presents.

Merry Christmas!

Love Aaron and Rikke.

The absence of posts on the blog of late is in part due to the amount of time and energy we have been putting into the house renovations.

I hope to be back to blogging soon but until then the web albums is quicker an easier...

Enjoy!
