Everybody dresses up (women in the traditional “bunad”) and gathers for parades, programs, food, and games. Our neighborhood school kids presented a parade and program, and we got to join in the festivities!


Can you see Joseph?


Parents walk behind the kids in the parade. Carl is next to our friend, Elisabeth Karlsson.


Gathering at the school.


Fun games! I especially liked the pillow contest. Norwegian kids are pretty tough and do a lot of outdoor activity, so we’ve got to beef our boys so they hold their own in next year’s contest :)


We used our outdoor fireplace to cook some tasty kabobs! The kids from next door, Aleksander and Angelica, joined us for the meal. Their family is from Poland, and they have four kids, too (twin baby girls)!
