Da: Lars, en tænksom midaldrende far, trådte ud af bilen.

Da: Med et suk drømte han om en ferie, hvor familien kunne forbinde sig uden distraktioner.
En: With a sigh, he dreamed of a holiday where the family could connect without distractions.

Da: "Kom nu, børn, lad os få noget sne i lommerne," sagde Lars med et smil, mens han trak deres kufferter ind i hytten.
En: "Come on, kids, let's get some snow in our pockets," said Lars with a smile as he carried their suitcases into the cabin.

Da: Indenfor tændte han op i pejsen.
En: Inside, he lit a fire in the fireplace.

Da: Den knitrende ild spredte en behagelig varme, der snart fyldte rummet.

Da: spurgte han med en fantasifuld stemme.
En: he asked with an imaginative voice.

Da: Sofie, som sad i sofaen med sine øretelefoner i ørerne, begyndte også at lytte.
En: Sofie, who was sitting on the sofa with her earbuds in her ears, also began to listen.

Da: "Far," sagde hun med et lille hånligt smil, "er det ikke bare noget for små børn?"
En: "Dad," she said with a small mocking smile, "isn't that just for little kids?"

Da: Lars lo og svarede: "Du skal se, hvor sjovt det kan være."
En: Lars laughed and replied, "You should see how fun it can be."

Da: Lars gik i gang med at planlægge.
En: Lars got busy planning.

Da: Næste dag hang han en træ-tønde op i hyttens have og fyldte den med slik.
En: The next day he hung a wooden barrel in the cabin's yard and filled it with candy.

Da: Han fandt gamle farverige stofstykker til kostumer og begyndte at fortælle om gamle Fastelavnstraditioner, mens han forberedte kakao i køkkenet.
En: He found old colorful fabric pieces for costumes and began telling about old Fastelavn traditions while preparing cocoa in the kitchen.

Da: "I gamle dage skulle man fange katten, men nu er det bare et sjovt symbol," forklarede han.
En: "In the old days, you had to catch the cat, but now it's just a fun symbol," he explained.

Da: Da dagen kom, blev Mikkel klædt ud som en lille kat.
En: When the day came, Mikkel was dressed up as a little cat.

Da: Sofie, der havde insisteret på at forblive sig selv, fandt sig selv grinende, når hun så på sin bror.
En: Sofie, who had insisted on staying herself, found herself laughing when she looked at her brother.

Da: Latter fyldte luften, da Mikkel ramte tønden med en træpind, og slik regnede ned i sneen.
En: Laughter filled the air as Mikkel hit the barrel with a wooden stick, and candy rained down in the snow.

Da: Sofie satte sig ved siden af Lars og lyttede til hans historier.
En: Sofie sat next to Lars and listened to his stories.

Da: "Jeg vidste ikke, det kunne være så hyggeligt at høre om traditioner," sagde hun overrasket.
En: "I didn't know it could be so cozy to hear about traditions," she said, surprised.

Da: Snart deltog hun også i legen.
En: Soon, she was also participating in the game.

Da: Om aftenen, da solen gik ned, og stjernerne dukkede op på himlen, sad familien tæt samlet omkring pejsen.
En: In the evening, as the sun set and stars appeared in the sky, the family sat closely gathered around the fireplace.

Da: Kakao og latter varmer deres hjerter mere end ildens glød.

Da: Dermed sluttede denne Fastelavn med en nyvunden forståelse og glæde i familien Nielsen.
