Yes, post #762. I think she and the girls attended last year with their Majesties, while the CP couple were with Mette-Marit's mom. (I may be wrong)
It would be nice to see all of them together, though. I guess we'll have to wait for paparazzi pics of a family vacation

She was asked (by TV2's reporter) whether it has been a nice service, to which she replied: ''Ja, nydelig (Yes, lovely)!''
And BTW: ''Thanks'' means ''takk'' in Norwegian, while ''tak'' is the Danish version.

Do you mean at the Christmas-service in Holmenkollen Chapel? No, not when they are celebrating with the Behns, which they tend to do every other year.

As I wrote in post 746, which is also quoted in post 762:
1. ''Ari celebrated with the royals last year,'' which of course means that Märtha and the children were there as well.
2. ''The CP-family celebrated with CP MM's family at Skaugum last year.''

Ah, so it was a white Christmas for the NRF! Nice to see them together at the service.

What a beautiful Chapel. All that glowing wood and those wonderful chandeliers make it look like Christmas and it must look the same all year. What a beautiful place for the congregation worship an how special it must be for the NRF to join them to celebrate Christmas in serenity and joy.

Love the new photos - Sverre Magnus looks so much like MM here! I wonder what Harald found so amusing

I don't know if this has been posted already so forgive me if it has; but according to French royal blog Noblesse & Royautes, Ari Behn will be spending Christmas with the NRF this year:
Ari Behn passera la Noël avec la famille royale de Norvège – Noblesse & Royautés

But these are not Christmas cards, they are photos taken in the Christmas season which can be posted on the website within hours. Cards are mailed out weeks in advance.
The Spanish royals are certainly not the only one whose Christmas cards are not remotely Christmas. Look at the Brirish royals. Anything remotely Christmas like about the Cambridge card??? The photos are often just taken from another shoot during the year. Unseen photos released.
Lovely Christmas pictures indeed though. I love how all three Scandinavian families give us some glimpses into their personal celebrations. Norway bit more formal then the other two but still.

I wonder if Uvdal is where the family will be spending their Christmas this year? It's just over 4 hours away from Oslo, so it would be too long of a journey to spend for the day, unless they got up super early. Udval looks to be a beautiful part of Norway and it certainly seems snowy there! The little church looks cosy.

Yes, they are. The NRF announced last week (with the release of the pictures of the Christmas photoshoot) that the crown prince family would be spending Christmas in Uvdal.
The king and queen are not in Uvdal; they are spending Christmas at the Royal Lodge (Holmenkollen) with Märtha Louise.

Hmm, a mistake IMO. He could have arrived separately but still been there. Unless maybe he is no longer just her boyfriend.
