Happy 17th of May

We celebrated Norway’s Constitution Day last night with some friends.  It was a great party.  A lot of food.  A lot of Aquavit (some had more, much more than others).  A really good night with great friends.

I made Kransekake again this year and have improved my skills by leaps and bounds from last years try.  Give me a few more years and I’ll be a pro!

 

And this party, we actually remembered to take pictures! 

Dick and I.

 

Outside was where all the singing and dancing took place.

 

Frode and Dan.  Dan’s Canadian – but we don’t hold that against him.

 

 

Here are two very drunk Norwegian boys.  Truly celebrating their country.  :)

 

Watch out – aquavit will get you!

 

 

End tally of the night:

• 35 people
• 10 bottles of wine
• 3 lbs of shrimp
• 1 lb smoked salmon
• 4 bottles of aquavit
• countless beer bottles
• 4 people passed out ;-)

All makes for one very good, entertaining party!
