Quick recap

First there was our concert. We sung in this tiny, Medieval church, it was almost full (i.e. about 80 people), and we did ok. The audience was happy, at least, and two of them even gave us a standing ovation :)We were all clad in black, but with something red for decoration. You can see how pleased I was with the pin Devil Mood sent me! And it fitted the occasion just perfectly.

She also sent me this adorable angel for our tree!
Kimananda sent me a calendar from San Francisco, with photos that's already given me some ideas of what I'd like to see in May. She also sent me this box of amazing chocolate. Somehow some pieces disappeared even before I took this photo, though, and the rest just after. Weird... Anyway, there was also homemade fudge! With emphasize on was...
Then there was New Year's Eve. As is our tradition, the kids were put to bed long time before midnight... But before then, they were out in the garden with these kinds of, erh, firework-on-a-stick-thing (why do you think that's missing from our dictionary...?). And none even asked to stay up longer, they were all tired...And this Friday we went to Oslo city hall, for the children's Christmas party, held to all employees with family and friends. Hubby's work falls into this category, so we were all there. Along with 493 others... As you can see, the tree was rather impressive :)
- Yes, the city hall is where there were automagical taps! And yes, it's more or less the same word in Norwegian...

Great pics. And we call it a "sparkler" so it's more compact than firework-on-a-stick. ;)

I'm happy the pin and the angel found such a lovely home :)
