My birthday

The post is not all about my birthday I promise, but I do have to say I had a wonderful one. I am housesitting this week, so Aran took care of Lilja on Friday and two of my friends took me out to a wonderful dinner with martinis and yummy appetizers and yes dessert!! Then a quiet evening at the house. On my birthday morning I got greeted by four noses at a wopping 6 am!! but they gave me lots of licks and that made it all better. I had a great walk with the dogs and then went home to get greated by Aran and Lilja all excited because we were going to bake "pink" cupcakes..Lilja was the excited one ;). Then we sang "Lang zal ze leven" and blew out all OUR candles.. Lilja believes in my birthday is her birthday.. I guess i do too ;) THEN>>>> we had a wonderful early sushi dinner where Lilja ate all her miso soup and lots of salmon and we devowered some amazing rolls..( my daughter does not like french fries but loves miso soup.. I guess we are doing something right ) Then... yes, there is more... I got shauffeured back to Caroline's house and Aran took Lilja home. My real birthday quiet night..It was wonderful, but too quiet.. ,  I am ready to have that little one with me again..But thank you Daddy for the wonderful time, and the amazing roses too.. And thank you Lilja for being such and amazing little girl who I miss even after one night away.. That says alot!!      

A martini, appertizers and yes, a yummy dessert with some great friends 

I asked Lilja what kind of cupcakes we should make she said: "pink ones with sprinkles" I made them a little 'healthy with applesauce and ygurt in them but they still were really good. i was impressed and Lilja so excited she could help all the way! 

The next day we all went skiing again. This time we both skate skied and took the backpack with us instead of making two trips. She again did really great. We bought her a new ski suit as the other fashion were a little bulky.. yes, I love to buy clothes for Lilja.. sue me!!

After the longest skiing as of to date, Lilja wanted in the backpack.. so with her new warm hat and Lamby in tow we went the whole loop around, with the hill up first.. I AM SORE!!
