The best with birthdays are that you decide yourself if you are going to grow up or not. I decided to stay childish one more year and I can’t wait all fun I will have! ^^
Anyway.. today is my birthday. Kind of the most important day in the whole year. I would actually say it is for sure! This post will be very long and full of photos and I start right now…
My day started absolutely perfectly – Tony woke me up around 9.30 with funny birthday songs, pineapple cake with candles unable to blow out (super fun! 😀 ), confetti, my favorite “champagne” I drink in Sweden and lots of hugs and kisses. We stayed in bed for a while and after it we went down. Tony first and me a while behind him. I walked down the stairs very happy and all agog to decorate my birthday cake together with Tony when I was met by balloons hanging. I got even more happy and after it I saw this years and notes hanging on them. I looked closer and just fell in love even more with my man. Some of you maybe know, some not but Tony and I have been chatting since 2006 and every birthday he sent me a birthday email. This is my first birthday with him at real and he has printed all his old emails and put them on each balloon. He is so romantic that I often wonder if this is real or just a dream.
I went and hugged him and after it I took some photos and when I turned around I saw this heart of roses on the floor. How could I miss it?! I was so happy and excited about the emails that i didn’t notice it. Haha! I say it again… isn’t he romantic or what??! A gift, a rose and a card in the middle of a heart of roses. I did my best to read card but it wasn’t the easiest I done. Both because of Tonys handwriting and the happy tears in my eyes. When I finished it and kissed Tony even more I opened the gift. When I was here for the second time (I think) we went to a perfume store and I showed him my favorite perfume. He wanted to buy it for me right away but I told him to save it for one day he wants to buy something real special for me. He remembered it and I got so amazing happy. I started to shake and people.. if you smell something wonderful next to you I’m probably there!
Now the awful, funny and real sad part of this day starts. I have planned all cookies and the birthday cake so good as I do every year at my birthday. I want everything to be perfect and I look for weeks for cooking at internet to get ideas. I had a real good idea and the cookies we made yesterday turned out really beautiful so I had lot of hope for the cake too. I shouldn’t… The marzipan melted and the butterflies we worked on a lot and as should have dried was not dried at all and it just turned out to a complete MESS! And to make it even messier we (or the depressed birthday girl) grabbed icings in different colors and pretended she today turned 4 instead of 24…… The funny thing is that I posted it on a baking group on Facebook where people always post WONDERFUL cakes and cookies and in one hour it got like 50 likes and lot of congratulations and funny and thankful comments like “I think it’s charming and sweet (as you seem to be) everything doesn’t have to be 100% perfect and so” – “It’s made with love and then it turns out beautiful” – “Haha so damn wonderful that someone dares to show up the failures too!” – “It is absolutely the right spirit. Congratulations on your birthday and congratulations for being so positive”. I also got a lot of ideas how to make it better next time and I REALLY appreciate it. If it ever will be a next time xD
We went to Nana and her family and celebrated my birthday there. We stayed for like 4 hours and had A LOT of fun! Thank you so much for being so wonderful! ❤ Thomas and special Lucas was sick and I felt so sorry for them going there with a lot of sweets but now I’m really happy we did. Lucas was mostly resting, sometimes with us and sometimes inside. I had a super cozy time with him in sofa where we played games on my phone. I really want to get to know them more and being able to understand each other. Thomas was crazy and very fun as always. Dimi opened up and played a lot with me and I’m really happy about it. We had a lot of fun being pirates and having balloon-fights. The worlds best uncle (ee… 😀 ) planned the kids future with taking funny photos to use against them one day. Haha we all look SO fun! 😀 Ended the visit there with playing games on Tonys phone and just relaxed a bit. LOVED THIS DAY!!!!

Before I end this post to go out with my man to have dinner I just have to post some more photos. I call them “behind of a camera in a 3 year old boys hand”. Very interesting… ^^

Now we are leaving. Thank you SO MUCH every one who has been a part of my day today. It means A LOT! When I get home to Sweden I will BUY a cake to celebrate with my family there 😀
