I got a ladies night out and was so excited to go. Brad willingly watched the kids and put them to bed ... all by himself. These are woman from our church here and they meet together every 3 weeks. They usually take turns hosting but we went out to a cafe this evening.
We went to visit Hanne, Broderick's dagpleje mor, again. We had brought her back some treats from the USA to give her a "taste" of some of the things that we miss and are popular back home. Broderick was very excited to see her and the other kids again. He wasted no time going right for the toys.
Broderick and his friend Sofie.

Here's Hanne with Broderick, Anika, Sofie and Emilie.
This past Saturday we were invited to go to Jerry's with the Munck family again and then to their house for coffee and tea after. It was a very hyggelig evening.
With the days starting to get very short, this is when the Danes turn inside their homes .... lighting candles, spending time with friends and family..... and creating this thing they call hygge. There's not a good translation for it in English but a very important part of their culture here and we like it. You can have hygge all year, but especially during the holidays and winter season.
And since it looks like we are going to be spending the holidays here, we need to get this hygge thing down.
