This weeks issue of Billed Bladet's DRF-coverage is exclusively devoted to Frederik's B-day.
There are some trivia:
John Donaldson was unable to take part in the celebrations, instead he visited M&F prior to the birthday celebrations.
Victoria and Daniel and Haakon and Mette-Marit stayed the night at Fredensborg after the gala-dinner. And the mood was still merry when they left in the forenoon.
BB has kindly provided transcripts of what the children said in the segments at the gala-concert:
As far as at all possible I stick as close to what the children actually said. Even if it may no be obvious what they specifically refer to.
Their birthday greeting:
Isabella (I): "Hi, dad, I hope you have a really nice party today in Royal Arena together with us."
Josephine (J): "I love you dearly."
Vincent (V): "You are the loveliest dad in the whole world."
Christian (C): "We love you really, really, dearly."
All of them: "Congratulations on the birthday, dad!"
Segment.
C: "The most cool thing about our dad is that he can so many things."
I: "He is very curious."
C: "He likes to challenge himself."
V: "He does half-marathon, cycling and ironman."
J: "Try to think carefully and feel inside the body." - (Gut-feeling, presumably.)
I: "Then he also says, for example if you are a bit tired, then he says: Come on! You can just make it in time. It's right over there. - And if you don't believe in yourself and says no, I really can't. There is a bit long time yet, then he says: No, come on, you can do it! - He helps on the way to it."
Segment.
C: "He laughs all the time at his own jokes."
V: "Which we don't think are funny."
I: "Also when we sit at the table and then if, if he is also a little silly, and then mother says: Ehh, really, do get your act together. - And then he begins to laugh and say: I ain't doing anything."
C: "And we just sit there like that: Seriously!"
I: "He is sort of 15 year old like inside, but outside he is what he is." - (Adult.)
Segment.
J: "When he becomes king then he stands here with a mega huge megaphone. Then he could say to all the people that people must not put garbage on the nature."
V: "Garbage on the ground! You can't throw cigarettes either".
J: "It's not so good for the nature and the water - that the water is growing, but it's growing slowly, but I still think it's a stupid idea to throw garbage on the ground." - (The ice is melting.)
V: "And you must'n steal from other people."
Segment.
I: "Well, he is not sort of really, really, really romantic, but sometimes he sort of, like on Valentines Day or something, give mum some roses."
J: "Dad had been out traveling and we've walked past where they met each other. Then dad met her and said hi, because you are so beautiful, and then they talked, and then they became sweethearts and then they got married, and then she became a princess."
Segment.
C: "Ooohh, the best to nag is 100 % dad".
V: "Yes! It's dad."
C: "Yes, but if it's ice cream, then it's probably mmum."
V: "Yes! Yes, it's mum."
I: "Dad, can't we stay up a little bit longer, and then he says: Ok, you can have 10 minutes. - And then it becomes kinda like half an hour or something like that."
C: "The very best thing about dad is when we do something together, and he just comes up with something we can do right away."
I: "Or if we are bored and he just says: How about playing a game?"
V: "He gets crossed if someone have more points."
C: "There are many good things."
I: "He is good at ideas."
C: "I think my dad - what he want's very most for his birthday, is probably a travel with his family."
V: "On the Maldives."
C: "It doesn't matter where it is."
I: "You couldn't have a better family for sure."
C: "No, we have a really good family."
V: "Yes!"
J: "And a sweet family."

- And by some unfortunate oversight we don't have an thumb-your-nose smiley, because this weekend we are going away on vacation.
Can't agree more!
