Christmas in Denmark is celebrated in much the same fashion as in the US-- with LOTS of shopping! There are several malls in Copenhagen (which I was quite surprised by!) and then there are walking streets such as the one sh0wn here. It is hard to see in the picture, but the street is packed with people and decorations (you can click on the picture to get a bigger version of it if you're interested!). It really is quite festive!
I wanted to post a few pictures of Ruby in her Christmas dress from my Dad. She looks absolutely adorable in it and got lots of comments at church yesterday! It is a bit big on her still so hopefully we'll be able to have her wear it a fair bit this winter and spring.
We had our Christmas carol service yesterday at church yesterday including special music from the choir (which both Jared and I were in) and a mens' quartet (that Jared was in). It was a wonderful service and we were glad that Julie, Jared's co-worker, could join us there!

I love hearing about your activities! I'm so glad you and Jared are singing at church. You've both been blessed with beautiful voices and what better way to praise God than with the very gifts He has given you.
Ruby looks adorable in her dressy dress. Of course, we think she's adorable no matter what.
The "rice" pix were hilarious. Seems like she is really enjoying exploring in so many ways.
Keep posting -- we read every single word over and over.
Love Momma K
Jared, Bethany and Ruby!
Hi Guys, we miss you so much but the USA's loss is Denmark's gain. Your blog proves that you have to have faith and trust in God that all things will work out in their own way.
Ruby is growing so fast! Honestly, her pictures steal the show. What could be cuter than a baby learning to eat rice.
Mat and I are doing well. Looking forward to a week and a half of vacation starting next week. Lots of things to do between now and then to get ready for the holidays.
Take good care
Love lots,
Leah & Mat
