Christines homecoming


Our niece has been in the USA for a whole year but today she came home. Those of the family that could, arranged to meet at Kristian´s mum and dad´s so we could drive out to the airport all together, to welcome her home.

Kristian and Sara are in Jytlland, so we didn´t have the car. Andrew, Leah and me took the bus and train into Kristian´s mum and dads. There we met the rest of the family and had some lunch before driving out to the airport.
I drove with Kristian´s sister Signe. Signe loves to sing, and on top of that, she CAN sing - and she does it beautifully !! She is also a bit crazy - which suits me fine!! So Signe came up with an idea that we should sing a song to our niece when we saw her come out of arrivals. We decided it should be "O Happy day" and we would add a few of our own words - much to the embrassement of some in the family!!(my kids for example!!) But Signe, Gitte (my other niece) and me had fun with it.

We then all drove home to Hanne and Flemmings (Kristians sister) for strawberries, ice cream and cake!! We spent a few hours together before we all headed home. Really good afternoon. Welcome home Christine - good to see you again!
