Well this was one of the craziest NYE we have ever seen. Fireworks had been going off since Xmas and then NYE it just went OFF. Our neighbors invited us down to see their son in law do some fireworks and then it seems like every single person in Copenhagen went out and shot fireworks. Dada bought a few when we went to a show a few days before and the girls did their first fireworks (before all the fireworks started) and Im sure their last since Sophie has just now (on Jan 8th) gotten over the fear of being exploded by firework.

Her fears stemmed from the fact that an apt in our complex that we pass each time we walk out the door went up in flames from someone shooting a firework inbtwn the buildings. Yes, evacuation happened, 3 floors burned (though only the first floor is uninhabitable i think) and we slept through it all BECAUSE there were so many other explosions going off in the sky that we didn’t even hear it! We all made it up to midnight except Sabs who slept through the real show. It all didnt stop until maybe 1am. So strange in the quietest country we have ever been to, with the most proper and quiet culture that on NYE they all seem to go buck.

Luckily the family that lives in the apt that went up in flames were out of town so no one was hurt. What an insane NYE and def one we won’t forget. The girls drank their first non alcoholic champagne, shot their first fireworks, held their first sparklers, we made pizzas, watched a movie, saw the most incredible fireworks show right out our window all night, and then rang in the new year the next day with Dada’s black eyed peas. We went for a walk around the neighborhood and it looked like there was a war the night before. Boxes, glasses, firework remnants, shoes, and random trash was all over the town. Im not sure where it all went or who cleaned it up but I haven’t seen it the past few days so someone did.

Happy 2020, hopefully it is as amazing as 2019 was and with these peeps by my side im sure it will be! Maybe i’ll get some sleep again in this year…maybe.
