So this past Thursday, the 24th to be exact, was Liz’s b-day. Let’s check out what we did!
Started off with breakfast in bed (blueberry American pancakes, coffee, juice) and gifts!
A gift from Gesine in Berlin ♥
Cheers for the birthday girl!
Zola celebrated her mom in her own little way.
We hung out at home, Face-timed a friend and family in the States. Colored Liz’s hair, fixed our nails, and so on. It was pretty gray and rainy but once it cleared up a bit, we headed downtown.
We hung out at a bar first, before it was time for Liz’s surprise. She knew something was coming up but not where, when, and with who.
At 7pm I had reserved a table at this pretty new place in Uppsala, a wine bar.
Vendela, my cousin, and her boyfriend, Erik, were there already, waiting on us.
Micke (my brother’s best friend who I also see as my extra big brother), my brother, Jonas, and his wife, Magda, showed up too.
We drank delicious wine, ate appetizers, and smørrebrød (fancier kind of sandwiches we decided to call it), and made plans to definitely come back, perhaps on a snowy day, and be all cozy inside, because it all felt really really cozy there. Sounds like a pretty good deal. It was, after all Thursday, a regular day, with work day for the majority of the crowd, the next day, so after some hours, we walked home, and I believe Liz was happy about her day.

Beautiful pictures of what looks like a great day. I love how you two do birthdays. It’s so sad when people don’t get excited about them anymore!
Thanks!! I totally agree with you, birthdays are to be celebrated and be excited about!
