I'm thankfull for...thanksgiving!

Today we had an amazing American/Danish thanksgiving dinner courtesy of emilia's (linn's cousin) mother and father. From the cranberry sauce to the pumpkin pie...it was all there. I was highly dreading the grim thought of missing thanksgiving, but thanks to the fact that emilia's father is from Texas......we were able to eat until I could see the tip of the turkey leg in the back of my throat. Yes, I ate everything that was on my plate...

A day at the park...

Before church we spent the morning enjoying the fresh snow and wonderful Frederiksberg Have.

First snow......first snowball fight.

And the winner is......

Just can't stay awake...

It was about 5:30 pm and emil still had about 2 hours still until bed. So I thought it would be best to attempt keeping him awake for fear that come 4:00 am he would be wide awake. Much help I was...

Fun Fridays in CPH

Yesterday, Kyle and I went to a CSS concert at Lille Vega in Copenhagen. We had so much fun. For some reason I was expecting the singer to be this really cool looking french singer, (I really don't know what I was thinking, since they are a Brazilian band???) but she was this little dark haired tomboyish girl, that was just jumping around the stage dancing however she felt like it, while laughing in between singing. Everyone in the band was just wearing jeans and t-shirt and some of the girls had randomly painted themselves with gold dust on their faces. They were all just so laid back and so much fun. I guess it makes sense, since CSS is for Cansei de ser sexy - tired of being sexy. I just never put two and two together before. In concert the music had a real garage band feel to it, which is cool since all music seems to be so overproduced lately. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!! If anyone has the chance to go and see them: GO!!!

Speechless...

happy birthday to me!

It was a good birthday! I started the day with linn, taking part in two separate brunches......one with the family and the other with of few of our good friends. After stuffing our faces full of nice danish roles and pastry's, I opened some pretty cool gifts. This is what I received:

1. A pair of CSS tickets from linn.
2. A Bodom stove-top espresso maker from myself via my wonderful mother.
3. A stove-top milk frother from linn.
4. A children's book in Danish from linn's parents...with all sorts of great stuff to learn (I now know how to say airplane and dump truck!).
5. A HC Anderson short story book in Danish from linn's parents (I could be wrong, but I think they may been hinting at something...?).

Later that night after hanging out with friends and indulging in tasty, yet way-to-expensive cheese and bread at around 6'ish or 7'sh, me and linn then went out to the most wonderful and cozy French restaurant for dinner. We opted for a 3 course menu......having duck, salmon, scallops, and a chocolate cake with mango sorbet that nearly made me wet myself. In all, it was a wonderfully spontaneous birthday. Something I think I ought to do more often...?

le pavé restaurant

Matt sent this to me this morning...

Perhaps it's not that bad after all...

Nothing like waking up at 5:30 am on a Saturday morning! Can you sense the sarcasm? Well yeah, sure my ideal Saturday morning doesn't consist of a 5:30 am wake up call and three dirty diapers. But at the same time, the feeling of being with the little one, watching the sun rise, feeling the cold morning Copenhagen air, and having my morning latté......somehow felt, nostalgic. Though i'd rather not admit the defeat of my pride, I kind of enjoyed it...despite being quite negative about the thought of it the night before.

Anyways, here's a quick video I took off my phone, of which has been the source of all my photos and videos (in case you were wondering). Please forgive the excessive puffy eyes and bed head.
