two years old



little D turned two yesterday. i always get sentimental and emotional around my kids' birthdays. i wonder if that will continue into their teens and adulthood.

sunday we had the whole family here in denmark for the traditional danish birthday: buns (baked by morfar), hot chocolate and birthday cakes with nougat, whipped creme and fresh berries. and a chocolate cake by mormor, which was the absolute favorite among the young crowd. and then there were the sand cakes by his brothers. their beauty compensated well for the fact that we couldn't eat them.

it was a great day, we all had the best of times with the family members we see so rarely. the weather was beautiful and we were very happy.

ps: that handsome guy with my littlest one in the top photo is my older brother.

  9. thanks for all you happy birthday wishes. it was wonderful indeed to celebrate in denmark.

    happy late b-day, jennifer, i'll remember that now, as it is my wedding day :)

    yes, francesca, the flags are a danish thing, but we still have this pile of israeli flags from our wedding 6 years ago where i did some garlands with our flags. so they joined the danish ones on the cake :)
