17th of May

Today is a National holiday in Norway, they celebrate constitution day! So everybody dresses up in their national costumes (which are a lot more decent than the Bavarian ones), walks in a parade and eats lots of (pretty bad, sorry!) sausages.

We had a great day, enjoying sunshine (YAY!), fellowship and food (we had good cakes and then some amazing home-grilled chicken and hamburgers - thank you, Markus!).

Here just some pictures - of course, as always on such occasions, taken by my brother-in-law.

 Alia's firsts 17th of May - she does not look too excited

 that is why she spend most of her day sleeping - her tactic to avoid too much stress

 the in-laws of the Røsvik family who are foreigners - I appreciate them so much because then I am not the only weird one :-)

 by marrying Erlend, I gained four new sisters - love those ladies!

the parade

 we were allowed to just join the parade and walk to the school where everybody met up

Erlend after eating a sausage (having eating German sausages for the last year...)  - the face says it all

afterward we enjoyed good food and hanging out at Markus & Sarah's

 Doro enjoyed seeing some Norwegian culture
