Thanks Muhler and Polyesco 
I think this part of Mary's informel speech about her, Frederik and children's dinner time is deligthful  :
"In my own family's the evening meal is also a focal point. After breakfast we are often spread in all directions, kindergarten, schools, but at dinner we gather again. The meal is an opportunity to tell and to listen - there may have been an extra good play in Vincent and Josephine's kindergarten or a particularly difficult task in Christian's and Isabella's school - with four children there are many stories to be told, and it can be difficult to be updated all the way around. It's therefore a extra challenge when Vincent in middle of the speech flow shouts "quiet game!". Well, it gives Frederik and I a moment's peace to exchange a few words - because we have long ago announced us out of the 'quiet game', but it's only a few words, because the silence rarely last long."
Pictures with information from Mary Fonden:
There was talked and laughed around the table where none of the other guests knew that the Crown Princess came to eat with them:

People were laughing when the Crown Princess told how difficult it can be to 'be heard' around the dinner table in a family with four children:

Such a thing here - that Mary secretly meets up to eat together with 400 ordinary Danes - is exactly why Mary is so hugely popular!
(The same with Frederik - he could had done exactly the same thing)
Very great and touching words to Mary on Facebook:
(Here's just some few of them...)
"It makes me so glad to se Mary's big heart for the people. She is 100 percent committed to what she does, she is natural and she's not afraid to blend with the people. Big praise to her."
"Where am I glad that we have Mary as coming Queen of Denmark once. The Danish Royal Family been really lucky with her.. A sweet, lovely, genuine, beautiful and not least empathetic woman. And she has both legs planted firmly in the ground, no airs ..... I fully understand that Frederik chose her as his wife and mother of his lovely children. He is also a Crown Prince of the people, it will be so good when these two takes over."
"We could in no way have gotten a better Crown Princess. Long live H.R.H Crown Princess Mary.
Denmark loves you!
It was fortunate for Denmark that our great Crown Prince took Mary with him from Australia, -he has great sense of quality."
"Mary is genuine and folksy, cool and sincere."

thanks for sharing Roskilde
this part is especially cute, parents being above the rules of the quite game lol 
" Vincent in middle of the speech flow shouts "quite-game!". Well, it gives Frederik and I a moment's peace to exchange a few words - because we have long ago announced us out of the 'quiet-game', but it's only a few words, because the silence rarely last long."

A BB video of Mary this forenoon, where she visited a nursery and interacted with the children: VIDEO: Derfor legede kronprinsesse Mary med bamser | BILLED-BLADET
They were as you can see singing a bamse-song = teddy(bear)-song. The teddy being instrumental in illustrating good behavior as well as being good to cuddle when you are sad.
This was the launching of an extended version of free from bullying to be implemented in nurseries, kindergartens and daycare.
As usual Mary is not someone to be brief when she has a message to bring out. It was obvious IMO that she didn't switch from English to Danish like in Burkina faso, but was in fully Danish mode, judging from the speed and pronunciation. I.e. no albeit minor grammatical mistakes and no danglish words. A brilliant Danish in fact.
As you can tell, there was plenty of press there, so we can rest assured that more will come.
She was among other tings asked what she does in order to teach her own children to be a good mate. They basically talk about it.
-----------------------
ADDED: BT has more.
Here is a great gallery: http://www.bt.dk/royale/se-de-skoenn...s-navn#slide-1
And article: http://www.bt.dk/royale/kronprinsess...ar-det-gaelder
During the singing, little Mike, who sat in front of Mary had problems clapping and placing the teddy on top of the head at the same time, so Mary had to help.
Later on Mike noticed how Mary had tucked in a teddy, so he came rushing with hos own teddy, which also had to be tucked in beside Mary's teddy.
Later on Mary sat with a number of children. And one boy, Søren, asked Mary if the princess had arrived.
A delighted Mary hid part of her face behind a drawing and replied: "Yes, she is. - Here I am". - Cool! Søren then proceeded to demonstrate how you look when you are sad, angry, glad and so on.
This is little Fatima, nice dress, eh?

And this must be Søren in the red shirt:
