One year older.....

.....but not any wiser!! haha

My birthday was this week. I turned 44!!!!!!! (I am now thinking of counting my birthdays from the time I came to Denmark and started my married life....so that makes me only 23!!!!)

I had a wonderful day and was spoiled rotten by my hubby and kids.

The presents were over in my wee studio...

Canvases to paint on, from my hubby....just what I wished for:-) Happy!! Happy!! Happy!!

Face cream and shower gel from Leah and perfume from Andrew. I was very impressed that he picked a perfume out for me that I actually like!! He went himself to the department store and picked one that he thought was my smell! haha  

He picked right, I love the smell, not too much, just my type of smell.:-) 

Sara called and told me what her birthday present to me was.  She has been dying to tell me for days now, she has a hard time keeping a secret! Well, she bought me shoes from her shop. She saw me looking at these particular shoes last time I was over  and so she bought them - isn´t that sweet. So I will get them next weekend when we go visit her.

To celebrate my birthday some of my friends came to dinner. I have 7 close friends that I see every so often, I try to meet up with them every 6 - 7 weeks which means I usually see a friend a week.  I have never had all these friends gathered together but this week, for the first, time they met each other. Anne, Jette, Laura, Audry and Samantha came for dinner. Unfortunately Rhona and Genny couldn´t make it - you were missed.:-(

I found this bra attached to my car window screen when I went to work on the morning of my birthday. Laura had been up to her tricks!! So I got my huge underpants and stuck the whole lot on for them arriving:-)

Anne sure LOVES her food:-)

Kristian did a fantastic job! He served us all evening with a smile on his lips. He endured our teasing and silly conversation and all our girly laughter.  He had total control of the kitchen and was not at all stressed!  (Tak min skat!)

 

 Laura had brought instruments for us all to play when we sang Happy Birthday.....amazing how a few instruments can set us of into fits of laughter....

Laura baked a delicious birthday cake for me......Yummie.... it was fabulous! 

It was a great evening. I felt so blessed by the end. Blessed to have such a great husband who just took joy in doing this for me. Blessed to have great kids and blessed to have such wonderful friends who really do light up my life and bring me so much joy. 

Now my next plan is to get all my special Irish firends over here to meet all my special "Danish" friends. (Danish in " " as only two of my close friends are actually Danes....all the others are foreigners!haha)

Turning a year older is really not so bad when you get to spend it with people you love!
