Our Anniversary! We had a blast. Michael came home a little early and we got dressed and ready to go. He had bought some champagne, I mean sparkling white wine (properly named, anniversary) that we had really enjoyed when we were here 3 years ago. I had also gone to a fantastic bakery/cake shop earlier and got us a couple slices of cake to go with it. On our way out we asked the Concierge service if they could send up a bucket of ice to chill it for us while we were away. Of course they did no problem. While in the lobby we got some free Glogg. You may say, what is Glogg? And what a funny name! It is a drink, similar to mulled wine and at the bottom of the glass there are raisins and almonds that have been soaked in port. You sip it, and eat the treats at the bottom with a spoon. I had missed it terribly the past 4 years, so have been so happy to have it again. We have had it from several places, but my personal favorite, was the one here at the hotel. ANYWAYS, we went to eatand see the show at Tivoli. Tivoli is pretty hard to explain. It is an amusement park, but not like 6 flags, and not like Disneyland. Its a beautiful place in the middle of Copenhagen with gardens, and restaurants a few rides, and just a really great place to go especially to people watch. At Christmas time they set up a Christmas Market and all sorts of other fun stuff. So we ate, walked around a bit, got rained on ALOT, walked around some more and saw the show there which was HYSTERICAL. It was a 3 hour show and we laughed from the start till the end. Anyways, enough on that.. here are some pictures!!!

and for fun, heres a video from inside the Nisse Village thing... Push play :)
In the video I am drinking glogg with an added shot of whiskey. yum.
We have made it a tradition that every year on our anniversary we would take a picture by a Christmas Tree. So this is this years picture:
OK, Second! Where are we living??
I haven't taken pictures of the actual hotel or lobby yet, but here is our room! The room we were in previously was SOOO much smaller, we didn't have much space at all..Thankfully we only had to live there like 3 days! We have been in this room exactly 2 weeks today.

Poor us, having to live here huh?? ;) Actually it hasn't been to bad. We both already think that this place has already become more like home then our Apartment in Plano ever did. I suppose since we never got completely unpacked there,and were there 18 days before finding out we were leaving, we never let it feel like home. Here, we have gotten pretty comfortable. Everything we have here is unpacked and well, as you can see, its pretty nice. No complaints :)

Dear Nicole & Michael,
Happy anniversary! It looks like you are fully enjoying the Danish Christmas experience. I can't wait to come and be a part of it myself, even though the Dallas weather has been awfully nice lately.
BTW: I have packed a six-pack of Shiner Bocks that I am willing to share. Hopefully, they won't make you too homesick. :o)
Happy holidays and best regards,
Jens
Hi, I loved seeing your video, and all of the pictures, plus reading about the things you did on your anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been three years since we had such a wonderful time in Lubbock. Oh, my how you both have changed. You are on such a wonderful journey. It is great that you are able to do so many things with your lives. Thank you for letting us in our your wonderful activities. Love, Sharon
