Birthday Celebrations

Our second week in Norway, we had two very fun birthday celebrations. The first one involved Baby turning one. We spent the day in Selbu, and it was almost as though she knew it was her special day. From the time she got up she was into mischief. Here she is caught climbing up on a small chair in the pantry. This girl has no fear! Bestemor just would not stop spoiling her, and well, ....she wasn't going to object to it either. Here she is eating her very own ice-cream cone. tsk....tsk Here she is getting a small bowl of Chocolate

Mousse. I don't think a baby was ever loaded

up on sugar like she was.

Of course, there was also CAKE! A deliciously Norwegian cake....

Unwrapping presents. Such fun!
















After such a day, it was only to be expected that she collapsed, absolutely spent, the first chance she got. Big sister didn't mind the extra cuddles though.

Our next birthday, was just a few days later. This one, we spent in town. Playing on the play ground close to my parent's place, and even going to Mc Donalds......(unfortunately those pictures did not turn out). The cousins from Alabama called on Skype with birthday greetings. It was so fun to chat with them again.

The Birthday Girl got to choose what kind of cake to have and I am happy to report, she chose Marzipan cake. YUMMMMM! Not one, but two.....

She also got to pick a new outfit for her Birthday. Here she is posing in her new clothes and shoes. These gladiator sandals are all the craze here. They suit her well.

We are so grateful we could celebrate these birthdays here in Norway. They could only have been made better had their daddy been able to be here too.
