My baby turned 13 today.  

We celebrated most of the day.

It started with our normal tradition of breakfast and presents in bed.

Presents!

This one she worked hard for!

Farmor (Swedish word for grandmother) made souvas (smoked reindeer meat) and potatoes for lunch! (My favorite Northern Swedish meal)

We went and got our Saturday candy.  And then in the evening some friends stopped by and we celebrated with ice-cream and strawberries.  The only thing missing was pappa and farfar (Swedish grandfather)!

I am so grateful for the gift she is to us!
