On Friday the 16th Ben got off work early and we decided to go to Copenhagen where they were turning on the christmas lights at Kongen's Nytorv. But first we went to see the Little Mermaid and the Gefion Fointain which we didn't have time to see the other weekend when we were in Copenhagen.

The Little Mermaid.
Ben and the kids in front of the Little Mermaid. Right when we were about to take pictures of her this bus full of tourists came and everybody was taking pictures.
The sunset.
The Gefion Fountain. The story goes that the goddess Gefion transformed her four sons into oxen and then plowed the island of Zealand out of Sweden. It left a hole in Sweden where the Vanern Lake is now.
The sun setting behind Kongen's Nytorv.
Laney eating a French Hotdog while listening to the Christmas carols.
The choir that sang Christmas carols and Santa telling the Mayor of Copenhagen to switch on the christmas lights on Kongen's Nytorv.
The lights turning on and the snow machine sending out fake snow. Laney was so excited that it was snowing.
The rest of the lights turning on. It was very pretty.

Oh I love Christmas time! I can't wait to hear carolers singing and seeing the lights at Temple Square. It's not quite Copenhagen, but it's the closest I'll get! :) These pics are awesome, and again - I'm so jealous of your fun trip!
Wow! I am amazed that I haven't seen your blog in a couple days and you guys posted so many photos!! Man I wish I can intern in Denmark and tour the area, it looks sooooo much fun and there are some things/places to see and do! Keep up the awesome postings.
