Pappa's Birthday

It's that time of the year - the fall and our birthdays - Lars first! It was nice that his parents were here this year to celebrate. First we went out shopping a little, then picked Sofia up from school and went out for a late lunch. After that Sofia, Fami, and I went back out for a little more shopping, came home and made Pappa an apple cake (eplekake). We ate it later with some wine and ice cream.

Sofia had to get her pappa a balloon and some chocolate ("Mom, my dad LOVES chocolate!") Both of the kids were highly entertained by the balloon.

Sofia had to have her juice in a wine glass so she could "skoal" with everyone else

Espen really liked the balloon

Sofia can really get him giggling

Lots of concentration

So sweet!
