Birthday Celebration

12 and 17.  

Two special birthdays for two amazing kids!  

All the way from New York to sunny Orlando ... Dominic and Madison are growing up too fast. 

Milla couldn't be happier to spend time with her cousins! 

The best toy ever?  

The Pooping Dog (which sometimes needs an emergency colonoscopy.)

Milla took this picture of Abby.  Nice eye Abby!

Please note - the boxer takes over by squeezing herself in front of Bamse.  

Abby checking out the annoying dog behind her.  

And finally just she lays her head onto Mikael and dreams of being alone with him. 

The best picture of Bamse, usually they turn out so dark we can't see him.  

He was guarding his bone.  

And then ... 

She took it, as he sulked from behind watching.   

150 Swedish Meatballs

Meatballs are important to us.  

Before I met Mikael, I could of cared less about balls made of meat.  But now, I can't get enough.  

It was just a matter of time, before we put Milla to work.  

She rolled 150 meatballs!  

And each ball was perfect!  

Hats Off!

Happy 6 Lilla Milla! 

Blessed by friends and hugs

These ladies are so sweet.  

Thank you to each little lady who shared Milla's birthday with us. 

Cake Time!

Break Time

Out to the playground a bit! 

Tea Anyone?

Little Ladies

1884 Home Tour

We also toured the Waterhouse Home in Maitland.

This freaked all the girls out ... And myself. 

The picture below is made from hair.  

In this time period, the ladies would save their hair collected from brushes 

and make these amazing masterpieces.  

Not Possible: She's 6

6 Years Old. 

Time flies. 

Happy Birthday my lilla milla. 

You are much loved.  

Victorian Tea Party 

at Maitland, Lake Lilly.  

You and you're girls!  

And only one boy was invited.  

Leaving from Malmo Train Station

One of the most coolest things I've ever seen ... 

Waiting for our train to Copenhagen

It's lovely.

An Early Birthday

We celebrated Milla's birthday the last night!

A Swedish Cake

Not made with icing and sweet cake ... 

Swedish cake is the opposite. 

And it's good ... so good!

"Don't Spoil Your Hair!"

Said one very bright, sweet and lovely little brit!  

Playing hair salon with you was so much fun!  

Another amazing Malmo family - 

Chris, Claudette, Alexia + John.  

The picture is strange, but again - swedish kids are so beautiful!  

I can't believe I don't have more pictures of this evening.  

Chris made us delicious chili!  

In the picture below, you can see how beautiful this home is.  

Claudette is amazing with her mad decorating style, those floors, the candle chandelier, her drapes.  Please visit us and do my home.  

Really.
