Happy Birthday Carlye! Happy 42nd anniversary to us!

Happy Birthday, our sweet Carlye.  Hope you have a wonderful day and an incredible year!

We woke up to snow again this morning.  I love how the 'gold' glints from the bushes and trees as the sun comes up.

Another scene from our backyard.

Another with the 'gold'. 

Elder Thorne let us into Tivoli today.  We had a good time wandering around and looking in the little shops.  This is the main concert hall of Tivoli.  Mads once told me that if Denmark had a national bird - it is the swan.  Then he paused and said, "Maybe it is!"  They use swans a lot and there are a lot of them around.  I think I notice because swans have always been my favorite bird.  A bit of trivia.  Victor Borge was the act for the opening week of Tivoli - in this concert hall - from 1950-1999.  He died in 2000.

Right is in the center of Tivoli is this beautiful Christmas tree with Nisse and the Christmas heart tree.  This is what Christmas looks like here.  We had a wonderful day and got hot chocolate with a Danish Pancake (with raw sugar in the center).  Tasted just like ours do.  It will be a day we will remember for a long time.  More pictures tomorrow.
