Surprise surprise, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You probably knew all about it already =) Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes!! And the gifts. Ant thanks to the organisers, I had a great night! I am lucky to have such great friends and family on both sides of the planet!

There will be a lot of photos tonight from the party, but as it is my birthday today I am allowed to make it easy for me and not write all that much =)

Btw, if anyone is on a photo and would prefer to not be, please let me know! And thanks to Marie for helping out taking photos!

Grandpa with the welcome drink

Katrine and Emilia, 2 more IKEA chicks that we have met here in Helmut.

Donald (Donne) and John, one husband and one fiance of 2 of my childhood friends from Dörarp.

Jonas the brother, you have probably seen him before.

Nina and I, Nina is a friend from university, we did the same course.

No information needed =)

Saga and Ellen playing at the table

Oh God, not sure how to explain this, but it was fun =)

Yep, Swedes entertain themselves in ways Aussies would never dream of...

The kick-ass birthday cake, soooooo yummy!

Cake, coffee and red wine!

Dad absolutely hates to see loose teeth, something I "accidentally" told the girls who suddenly had something to show him, hehehe...

He really hates it...

The day after in Ljungby, me and mum and dad had a look at an alternative reception venue which I am gonna ring and book tomorrow, in case there is not room for all of us in Dörarp.

A beautiful autumn view from the alternative venue, there is a river running through the city.

Mum and dad evaluating =)

Just some more autumn colours on an angle this time!
