#6 Holder FestYesterday was the first real party that I held in Danish. That's right folks, I hosted a baby shower in an entire different language AND gave my first Danish speech (wasn't very long). The affair was for my good friend Melanie who is almost 7 months preggy. We had punch, played games, ate glorious food and unwrapped gifts.
This is not the norm in Denmark. Baby parties are mostly after the baby has been born. I thought to myself, "How in the world is a mother gonna have time to have a party much less get the things she needs after the baby is born?" Momma needs to be prepared! I brought my idea up to Rosie, Melanie's mother, and she loved it. I explained what goes on in the states and what I have learned from Rachel, Sarah and Corissa. The evening was very successful. Women won prizes, everyone was full, and Melanie recieved many, beautiful, baby things. I think I want to do this with every mom-to-be...in our church at least. Thank you, ladies for making this such an awesome party. I could not have done it with out your help!
And of course it was a good thing to do when it is hace frio outside.
