Unannounced Mary was seen with her children at a book fair in Copenhagen:

A gallery:

Mary, and her children, were also lending a hand to Carina Axelsson, who has written several books, both crime novels and novels for children.
She was present at the fair to promote her books.
With Mary and her children went Ellen Hillingsøe, who apparently supported Carina Axelsson (It's not that this BT article is particularly well-written!!) and her eleven year old daughter, Ellen.
Ellen Hillingsøe conducted an interview with Carina about her latest book, while Mary and her children and other visitors at the fair listened.
That is, Bella, listened attentively. Buuut, Josephine and Vincent being four years old, such an interview is a little bit boring.
Vincent, who sat on Mary's lap was wriggling a bit at some point.
And Josephine who sat on the lap of Ellen Hillingsøe's daughter also had a few problems sitting still. It helped roaming through the content of mother's bag though.
But it's very clear that Mary's children are very familiar with Carina Axelsson, because during the interview Bella and Josephine exchanged smiles and little waves with Carina.
When the interview ended Ellen Hillingsøe announced it was time for those who wished for their books to be signed by Carina to come forward, Bella's hand went up in the air instantly.
Bella and her two younger siblings mingled with people standing around the booth with Carina Axelsson and when it was time to leave, Mary had to call an extra time for Vincent: "We are going to the children's area now".
Christian was not present.
Carina Axelsson has written IIRC three crime novels about a sixteen year old girl, a model I think, who solves various mysteries within the fashion world.
Comments to the gallery:
I see Ellen Hillingsøe's daughter is not included in the gallery, even though she sat with Josephine. Probably a consideration from BT, since she's a child and very strictly speaking they would require a permission from Ellen Hillingsøe for showing a close-up at least.
Pic #2: To help pass the time, Vincent was playing with one of mother Mary's hair-clams I think they are called.
Pic #3: Bella and Ellen Hillingsøe.
Pic #4, I guess it's Ellen Hillingsøe's daughter who is playing with Josephine's hair. Her face is cropped out. Correction, it's Bella.
Pic #5: Sweet. It looks like Bella is at the stage where a finger is most helpful when you read.
Pic #6: Booooring!
