Trip and Home

Well we started out for our long trip from Charleston to Denmark really excited and ready for an adventure! We ended up only using my camera two days and we used my families nice camera that takes good pictures the other days so I can only post what we have but you can get a little idea of how our trip went. Channing was already to take a little nap until she saw daddy with a camera.. "ooooo you want to take a picture of me?..let me pose first "
After we got to Atlanta (with no nap for chan) we had to wait for FOREVER a 4 hour layover in an airport with a 6 month old sucks! She decided that she didn't need to nap at all that day and only slept for 2 hours on the 9 hour plane ride through the night...basically it sucked and I never want to do that again.
We arrived in Denmark save and sound! Dumb story my dad had a driver pick us up and take us to the hotel when we got in the car I tried to create small talk like my mother always does. I asked him where are you from he said I'm Danish. I then asked him what nationality danish people are..Sweden, Norway, he cut me off and said Danish people are from Denmark....the country that you are in. Yea foot in the mouth I decided to keep quiet after that haha. Once we got to our hotel we passed out for two hours until we meet up with my family that night and got to go explore.Our first day in Denmark we went on a walking tour. Channing did not find this to interesting hahaha.
The whole gang on the first day. Of course my family (kori and rhen, nat, mom and dad, nicole, me and david) and the Carnevales our vacation family! (William, Steven, Mrs. Kelly and Mr. Steve).
Kori and Rhen
Huffman family <3

It was so fun to have all four of us together again : ) I think we climbed on every statue we saw no joke we would build a pyramid if it was tall so we could get up.
Mommy and Princess in the streets of Copenhagen

I need one of these soooo badly no joke! It has a bench in it where the kids sit they have really really nice ones (this isn't a nice one) I love the idea of the kids being in the front instead of drug behind you and eating dirt the whole time. The only down side is that I asked the tour guide how much they are and they run about 2000. UGGGGG there goes my dreams...anyone want to splurge and get me the best Christmas gift ever hahah : ) We decided to do couple shots here...Mom and Dad.. (p.s. you can't really see but mom had to wear a band aide on her forehead because she ran into a clear door when all the lights were at during the night time trying to help everyone and not keep them up and ended up having to get it glued : ( poor mama)

Channing talking to her Auntie...and boy can she talk I need to post a video she chats and chats and screams and chats to herself nonstop all day...crazy girl.
Like I said she loved Kori.... lol that little smile makes me happy

She makes the funniest faces (chans clothes are a little big because we didn't have winter clothes in her size because it was the middle of the summer lol.


Denmark def have the best crepes out of all the countries we went to We got to go to an ice bar it was sooo fun!
All the Girls in the Ice Bar!!!

Cheers!
Natalie and Nicoles first bar ever!


Breaking it down in the Ice Bar! We did some jersey shore fist pump, some low to the floor, some booty shake, and dad threw in some jumping moves : )
This is the oldest theme park in the world (so the cab driver said)
Story of my life on this trip...Chan was a trooper for the most part of the trip until she got pin worms the last 3 days of the trip which we didn't know until we got home...
Representing the Vikings
Channing went on her first rides on this trip!!!

Riding her first ride ever! She loved driving her own car
This was several days later while we were in Russia. This was on a hoover boat taking us from a castle back to the city.
One of the hundreds (not really but felt like it) castles we went to. Each country had a different twist on styles and architecture of the castle it was so interesting to see.
This is what Channing ended up wearing everyday because NONE of the places had air conditoning and it was burning hot! I wish i was comfortable wearing a diapper around because I def would have done that. When I got home I had to deworm Channing and my Whole house clean, clean, clean everything and rearange my house. My mom was AWESOME and helped me out becuase I had a breakdown because my child was not sleeping and the doctor couldn't get us any medicine for her and she was misrable. After that all calmed down I decided to go to Boone Hall pick peaches and make a butt load of peach coblers to give to friends and special people. My friend Chelsea came over and we talked and laughed until wayyyy to late and felt like we were in high school again, it was a blast.
Channing loves to play with her kitchen and food. mom- "Please cook me some food"
yayyyy! "ok mama I will cook you some yummy food"
"how about fried rice"
"whatttt you dont want fried rice?"
Her new bib, she destroyed the other three wayyyyyyy to fast
I have and addiction and it is called get every bow for channing in my price range lol.. I think she needs a new ribbon
Channing is now crawling and can get into everythig now. She crawled over to her animal pile and grabbed this giraffe that Diana gave to her.
