18 years ago.....

he looked like this.....

Today he looks like this.....

Yes, Andrew turned 18 today!

He didn´t want a party. Andrew likes a quiet life with not too much focus on him. (Unlike our two girls!) He just wanted us to celebrate his birthday together as a family. So that is what we did. 

Kristian and the kids are still on holiday and they like to sleep looooong. So we decided that we would first start the celebration when I got home from work. I left work a few hours early, but not too early, they still needed their lie in, but as soon as I was home it was party time.

 Pressie time.....

 He got a new gaming mouse, a few dvd´s, some clothes, a new bag for school and......

 his greatest wish - a new telephone. His old phone was years old and was literally falling apart. It was taped together at the back and the number pad was hanging of at the front. We had a very happy boy (who has now got his own smartphone and is just as cool and trendy as his old mum!! haha)

It was then time for some birthday cake before we all headed to town.


I had to go to the hairdressers (I know, bad timing!) but while I was there the kids and Kristian went shopping. An hour later I met up with them and we all had a cosy time going around the shops. Then Andrew got to pick the place where we should eat. He picked a really lovely cafe and we had a delicious meal.


We then headed over to the cinema to see "Super 8" - great family movie. We all really enjoyed it (well except Sara who thought it was bit unrealistic - honestly, she has no imagination!!)


It was then home to relax and investigate the new phone! I think he really enjoyed his day!


So even though he is now18 years old, he is NEVER too old for a kiss from his mum! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!
