Instead of a circumcision or baptism, we made you a navnefest (in Norwegian it translates into "name festival") to welcome you! Lots of friends joined in, Mormor arranged for the beautiful cake, and we had a great barbeque at Frogner Park! Dad, mom and Mormor all said a few words. Mormor wrote a poem about seeing all the generations in your eyes. Dad also wrote a poem that spoke about our desire to guide and comfort you with all the love and understanding you may need. Mom talked about how important it is to give you the "Five Freedoms" that Virginia Satir talks about, and we all wrote a poem-song that everyone sang.
