Scavenger Hunt at Norwegian Church

All the 4 year olds were invited to church today, as it is a Norwegian tradition to receive 'Kirkeboka' when you turn 4 in Norway. Since the Norwegian/Swedish Church are combined in Singapore, the Swedes were also invited :-)

The kids had 3 hours of fun, with scavenger hunt, songs, stories, and preparation of the church service.

They did really well performing the songs they learned, and received their books. Hannah was sooooo proud once done, and I had to do my best in translating Norwegian to Swedish reading the book.... The first chapter was about a grandma who had died, and I explained she now was in heaven as an angel... next chapter was about Christmas Eve, and how the kids played how Jesus was born and an angel came to tell the people about it - and Hannah's first reaction: So the grandma the angel came back again?!? :-)



While Hannah was hanging with the 4-year olds in church, Morten Matilde and I went for ice cream at Vivo City, to Matilde's excitement. When leaving Hannah, she cried on top of her lungs for 10 min but guess the ice cream helped... :-)  Once back at church, she did not want to leave Hannah, hence sat with rest of the kids during the service.... oh well... :-)
