Birthday Surprises

These last few weeks have been full of fun. My mother-in-law planned a surprise birthday adventure for all the Nordmark girls (except Helena who lives in Stockholm). We headed to town for a day filled with surprises. First a new dress for me, then a new haircut and some make-up. After all this we headed home for a birthday dinner with friends. My birthday was in Jan. but I was in America and haven't had a chance to celebrate with everyone in Sweden. I didn't think it was a big deal but turning 30 seems to get others excited!! We also took a trip to Stockholm last weekend for another 30th birthday surprise weekend. I will post those pictures later and tell all about it.

Sweet picture of Saga. She is loving the freedom of warm Spring days without a coat. They are few now a days but soon :)

It's baking time, yum yum.

Harieth and Saga getting ready to bake.

I decided to make curtain for Saga's new room. I've never sewn before and it proved to be more difficult then once thought. The first machine I borrowed caused me much despair. So I went over to Saga's great grandma's house and she showed me the ropes. They aren't bad for my first pair.

Axel putting out new boat into the water. We've taken many trips up and down the little lake. The ice is still blocking the sea, so we can't really go far yet.

My birthday dinner. Axel sure got dressed up. He looked so handsome!!

The short side of the new hair cut. I wanted to go short and have some bangs. The beautician suggested this funky modern cut.

Before shot at the salon. Looking in books deciding on what kind of haircut.

On our way to our surprise adventure!!!
