So, Petra had her birthday today.\u00a0 Two years old already!\u00a0 When I told Tage this morning that Petra was two now, the first thing he asked was, “Am I still 4?”\u00a0 He was a little disappointed when I told him that it’s a few more weeks until he’s officially older, but he quickly moved on to other things, namely cake and presents.\u00a0 Even though the celebration was for his little sister, he got very much into the spirit and has been singing “Happy Birthday” under his breath for most of the day.<\/p>\n
The festivities today were very low-key, because when my mom was here we had a combined birthday party for all of the kids–their birthdays are all within six weeks of each other, remember–that included extended family and friends (or friend, anyway — of my three compatriots in Skellefteå, only Melanie was not away in the States).\u00a0 That was a to-do to remember, with dozens of presents and three fancy-schmancy cakes and to-die-for chocolate-raspberry coffee brought all the way from Texas.\u00a0 Today’s party was memorable, too, though, not least for the way that the birthday girl exclaimed, “Oj!\u00a0 Musse Pigg!” when she unwrapped her Mickey Mouse comic book.\u00a0 Trust me, that was darn cute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
