Alle de fester / All those parties

Sikken en uge det har været! Gæster nærmest hele ugen, helt vildt mange kager og SÅ mange gaver! 

I går havde jeg familiefødselsdag. Udendørs. Men eftersom der nemt kan sidde 12 på terrassen og der fint kunne være 6 mere i haven, så gik det over al forventning. 

Der var flere kager. Jeg stressede rundt hele formiddagen med kager og bordækning og alt muligt, men alt gik super godt. Kagerne blev rigtig gode, og alle fik vist alt hvad de kunne proppe i sig!

Aftensmaden var libanesisk. Jeg havde bestilt herfra, og det kan varmt anbefales.

What a week I had! Guests almost the entire week, a crazy lot of cakes and SO many presents!

Yesterday, I had my family birthday. Outdoors. But since there is easily room for 12 people on the terrace and it was no problem to have another 6 sitting in the garden, everything went fine. 

There were more cakes. I was so stressed in the morning with the cakes and setting the tables and stuff, but everything went really smooth. The cakes were great, and everyone got stuffed with cake!

The dinner was Lebanese. I ordered from this place, and can highly recommend it. 

Min niece holdt en pinlig tale (som "tak" for alle mine meget pinlige konfirmationstaler til nevøcerne) og jeg fik bl.a. disse "unikke" øreringe. Der var også rekvisitter til photo-shoots, hvilket børnene (og jeg) syntes var ret sjovt!

My niece gave an embarrassing speech (as a "thank you" for all my embarrassing speeches at confirmations) and among other stuff, I got these "unique" ear rings. We also had stuff for photo-shoots, which the kids (and I) really loved!

Min ældste niece havde strikket strømper til mig! De har kostet en del tid og frustrationer, og jeg er superglad for dem. De passer perfekt! Det er jo helt vildt, så dejligt det er at få fødselsdagsstrømper! Bliver nok nødt til at strikke til familien lidt endnu.....

My oldest niece made socks for me! They took some time and frustrations, and I really do love them. They fit perfectly! It's amazing, how lovely it is having birthday socks! I guess I will have to continue making them for the family a bit more......

Selv om det var udendørs fødselsdag, så havnede de fleste af børnene alligevel i sofaen. Det var virkelig sjovt at se dem sammen! Jeg kender jo dem allesammen, men de har ikke helt styr på hvem de langt ude er i familie med. De var der næsten allesammen, og har allesammen været i mit hus før og følte sig hjemme. Og kender tydeligvis alle kassen med legetøj......

Although it was an outdoor birthday, most of the kids still ended up on the couch. It was a lot of fun seeing all of them together! I know all of them, but they are not quite sure who are their a bit more distant relatives. Almost all of them were there, and they have all been to my house before and feel at home. And obviously, they know where to find the toys......

Min søster skulle have kommet, men kunne ikke pga. den der dumme virus. Alligevel havde hun sørget for pynt, bl.a. dette forhæng til døren, som blev trådt på og trukket i og tygget på. 

Alt i alt en rigtig dejlig dag. Nu skal jeg så have orden på huset og have kigget på alle gaverne. Jeg skal finde ud af, hvor min nye "Corona"-busk skal stå! 

I aften er der "den sidste promenade koncert" på DR2. Perfekt afslutning på denne uge. 

My sister should have been here, but couldn't come due to the stupid virus. Still, she helped with the decorations, for instance this curtain for the door, which was stepped on, pulled and chewed on.

All in all, it was a really lovely day. So now I need to get my house in order and look at all the presents. I need to find out where to plant my new "Corona"-bush!

Tonight, Danish tv will show the Last Night at the Proms. Perfect closure for this week.
