Hello everyone!

This past weekend was Fastelavn, or as many people refer to it as Carnival. In Denmark we celebrate Fastelavn by dressing up and eating creme filled pastries. If you have children, it can be more fun as they usually have a party where they need to hit a barrel with a bat and get candy out of it. Whoever breaks the barrel first is crowned the King of Cats, and the person to hit the very last piece of the barrel is crowned the Queen of Cats. If you celebrated Fastelavn or Carnival, I would like to hear from you about how you celebrated wether you dressed up, or just ate some pastries! Let us know in the discussion  :)
