Happy birthday sis (2 days ago)

My sister turned 41, saturday. 

I made her this scarf, it is not perfect, but she loved it, so who cares?

This day went by so fast

I've been busy all day and now it's allmost 11 and i've have only deleted one line on my to-do-list...laundry! I just wanted to share some pics from saturday. My sister and niece came over and we alle made christmascandledekorations. I dont know if it is only a danish tradition, but this is the way me and my sister starts chistmas. I think we have done this for the last 7 or 8 years. We always do it the fourth sunday before christmas or earlier, because we have to have the "adventskrans" ready (4 candles in a cirkel...well not always in a cirkel, this year mine is in a wooden box. You ligth one candle each sunday in december before christmas.) Then I always make one with a "kalenderlys" (a candle with the numbers from one to 24, then we light it every morning) and then at least one with just a ordinary large candle. 

Benjamin even made two - let me put it this way - he wasn't afraid to try a lot of different decorationspieces, as you can see in the pictures below, and it only took him a fraction of the time it took us to be done.

Benjamins decoration, pretty good for a three year old.

This morning Ben thought the kitchen was a bit to cold, so he looked like this while opening the first present from "nissen" 

Welcome December

It has been to long, I know, but since it still have no readers, it really dosen't matter much. But i have made a promise to my self. I will post something everyday for the rest of the year. Hopefully somthing about danish christmastraditions and i will start later today. I have never been so busy on a december before  - It's schoolwork. So I hope that this will force me not to forget about christmas - which used to be me favorite time of the year - but ironicly after i became a mother it has only been hard work trying to please eveybody...but that ends...next year.

This is me and my sister Heidi

- from my very first christmas in 1978.
