After being a bit nervous about it all, Emil finally went with a great part of his family to the church and got his confirmation.
He said a loud and clear yes in the big church room, and we all smiled and felt so proud of Emil as he came to his seat in his new clothes. Proud that Emil is Emil.
Afterwards we had a lovely day. Just as relaxed, happy and playful as Emil had hoped for. And luckily the sun decided to shine most of the day, so we had gorgeous weather for playing and being outside in between the food.
Emil was definitely one happy and tired young man, when we returned home.
I feel so grateful and overwheled by all the love and joy, which was given from dear family and friends to Emil on his big day. None of us could have asked for more on that fine, fine day...
Lyder som en dejlig dag Ulla, for jer alle :).
ReplyDeleteDejligt at kunne se tilbage på en god dag.
Tænker i er trætte nu, ovenpå festivas og forberedelse :)
Det var simpelthen en rigtig dejlig dag, Jeanette. Glade, men trætte drog vi hjem med en skøn følelse i maven. :))
ReplyDeleteVi er godt nok noget slatne i dag, men det har været det hele værd. Jeg er bare glad for at Emil lige kan nå at fordøje det hele inden Blå Mandag står på programmet.
Jeg håber at i også får en dejlig konfirmation d. 29. Det er noggle fine skjorter i har som bordkort.
Snart ved i lige præcis hvordan vi har det i dag. :)) Så en rigtig god dag til Magnus og resten af familien.
Congrats to him? Yet i dont know what confirmation day iss? Is it baptism? I got baptised last year :D Felt so great
ReplyDeleteDet lyder bare perfekt !
ReplyDeleteOg blev så glad da jeg læste at I var stolte af Emil fordi han var Emil.
Tillykke med ham - han lyder bestemt også som en man kun kan være stolt af:-)
ReplyDeleteTusind tak for sidst Ulla (og resten af familien).......det var bestemt en helt fantastisk dag i skønne skønne omgivelser.
ReplyDeleteDet var en stor glæde at være en del af Emils store dag og en konfirmation lige i hans ånd. I har bestemt også noget at være stolte af Ulla med sådan en flot ung konfirmand.
Krydser fingre for at vejret bedre sig til i morgen så de unge mennesker kan få en helt fantastisk Blåmandag - det har de fortjent.
Kæmpe knus fra Havenissen bag hækken :0)
Congratulations to Emil! So glad his day went well.
ReplyDeleteTillykke til Emil med den store dag. Sikke en køn ung mand Ulla :O)
ReplyDeleteHåber i havde en dejlig dag og du kunne slappe af bagefter ovenpå alle forberedelserne.
Hav en dejlig søndag aften
SakuraDreams, the confirmation Emil had, is when you confirm your baptism in church about the age of 13-14. It's something which you decide yourself whether you want to do it.
ReplyDeleteMost children in Denmark get baptised when they are babies - and so was Emil.
After the confirmation one's parents throw the young person a party with family and friends. :)
And thanks a lot for your congratulation. :)
..............
Det var en skøn dag, Miri. :)) Alle var så glade og jeg elsker når børn og voksne leger og spiller sammen.
Det er så vigtigt for os, at Emil og Anne-Sophie ved at vi elsker dem lige præcis for de mennesker de er. Jeg er rigtig glad for at du har den samme anskuelse, og jeg tror at du sikkert tænker det samme om dine børn. :))
..............
Tusind tak, Helle. :)) Hvor er det sødt sagt - det gør mit moderhjerte endnu blødere. :)))
Tænk engang at han allerede er der i livet. Jeg synes ikke at det er mange år siden, at han susede rundt på småbitte ben, og elskede at trække vasketøj ud af maskinen for at hjælpe når det skulle hænges op! ;))
Men hvor er det fedt at hver eneste alder har sine helt egne specielle ting. :))
................
Kære Dorthe (og resten af din søde familie)
I lige måde og tusind tak fordi i var med til at gøre Emils dag til noget helt særligt for ham. Det er simpelthen altid så dejligt at være sammen med jer - i er så glade og udviser en livsglæde der smitter.
Og kortene, Dorthe - dem har jeg allerede hylet over adskillige gange. Emil tager den slags hjertevarme ord til sig, og han er så taknemlig for alt det der blev gjort, sagt og skrevet til ham. Det er jeg så glad for at han er. :))
Men hold fast hvor var vi trætte lørdag - det var som om al energi havde forladt kroppen! Men vi havde allesammen sådan en skøn følelse indeni. :))
Heldigvis ser vejret nogenlunde ud her til morgen, så jeg krydser godt nok også fingre for at vejret holder. Ellers er der sulme længe til kl. 20 i aften! ;))
Kæmpeknus tilbage
Ulla
............
Thank you so much, Ruth. :))
We are so glad as well. We think that it all went so fine. Emil had a fantastic day, the food was great, he was surrounded by loving people and the sun made the day even brighter. :))
..............
Mange tak, Hanne. :)) Både for lykønskningen til Emil og de søde ord om ham. Jeg vil bestemt vise ham hvad du har skrevet. :))
Jeg synes bare at alt gik op i en højere enhed, og det er virkelig en skøn fornemmelse. Og allervigtigste var dét at Emil følte at dagen blev som han havde håbet. Han var meget opsat på at stemningen ikke skulle blive for formel - det ville slet ikke være ham. Men takket være alle vores søde gæster, så blev dagen fuld af sjov, grin og leg. :))
Dagene efter har været total afslapning. Det var dejligt at alle de bolde vi havde i luften, næsten landede som vi havde håbet. :))
Så nu slapper vi af med festforberedelser en stund, og siden hen tager vi fat i Anne-Sophies studenter fejring. ;))
Hav en dejlig dag. :))
Glad you had a great day! When I see the clothes I wear on my Confirmation - ohhhhhhh dear ; ) far too formal for me being 14 and not a very formal type of girl... I am sure you and Emil chose a far better outfit, at least when I look at the shoes he picked.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the girl and boy will be happier with their outfit in the future (if they will be celebrating their confirmation...).
When we spent easter in Berlin we went to a BOSS shop for looking around and there was this young girl with their parents trying on different outfits and I was about to say that she might want something for her age even for a Confirmation, I think she might feel the same about her photos in a few years time. But her parents chose this very uncolourful, pale making formal dress, sigh.
Have a great week, dear Ulla.
XX Nina
P.S. The tall girl is making a swim course these weeks, so sweet and so tall already - after it's finished she will have a "seahorse swimming award" sewed to her bathing suit.
Dear Nina,
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how time changes the clothes we wear. I remember making a little revolution when I had my confirmation. I wore a white blouse with buttons and short sleeves and a white skirt. The "wild" thing was that I wore pale pink shoes and a matching belt. None of the other youngsters could understand my choice. Just one, sweet boy. ;))
We had decided that Emil should be able to wear his clothes afterwards and most important; feel like Emil in it. So the shoes you already know, he wore black Carhartt trousers (skater brand) and a Carhartt Shirt with narrow stripes in white and pale blue. You can actually see him wearing it in the photo from this post. :)) He was very satisfied and felt good.
Some of the girls from his class looked like little brides. Not my cup of tea at all, but I'm sure they must have had a reason to feel good in that.
It will be funny to see what your sweet children wear when - and if - they choose get confirmed. ;))
Such a clever girl of yours. I bet that she will be so proud when she wears the seahorse on her bathing suit. It's a cool thing to do swimming courses. :))
My husband used to teach children in swimming classes for several years, when our own children were little.
Have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Hugs for you,
Ulla
