Fastelavn

It's time again for Lent and that means the Fastelavn celebration.  This year Silas chose his own costume and wanted to be a Mummy.  Benjamin was a Minion and even Liam had a costume after Silas' request...he was Doggie...Silas' favorite stuffed animal.

We went to the celebration at church with lots of friends.  Our great buddy Kirsten came with us and it was a lot of fun and a big help. We dressed up as twin girls.

Silas was really into the tradition of hitting the barrel with a stick, but got a little sad when the person in front of him...his best buddy Samuel...was the one who got the last hit that knocked the barrel down thus becoming the King.  It made for a good talk and he eventually got over it.

Benjamin was more in a fog the whole time during the  barrel hitting and was much happier just watching. He did love the Fastelavns rolls though and ate 3 big ones  (even though just last month he claimed he didn't like them!)

Here are some pictures of our cuties!!
