American in Norway

Another Birthday party down....  I have to say, I really enjoyed this party... & I feel like the QUEEN of Papier-mâché Cupcakes are still pretty new to Norway... no. really.  Of course they have had "muffins" for years... but the whole CUPCAKE craze with frosting up to HERE . is totally new... So the idea behind the party, was that all of the girls could decorate their own cupcake. I made a Cupcake piñata... you can't find Piñatas here in Norway... so if you want one.. You are going to have to make it... not really too hard. Only lilttle glich... I hadn't thought about where we would HANG the piñata.. Hmmm.... I assured Bjørn he could just hold it... I am sure none of the girls would hit him with the stick... But he didn't believe me... So the girls had to PUNCH the piñata...  & then kick it... At least the entertainment lasted a while... :-)  I tend to make my piñatas very strong... lol While trying to figure out how I was going to make the piñata, ...

As most of ya'll know... August 3rd is a BIG day in our house... Our wedding anniversary & baby girls birthday. We started this morning with the pancake breakfast... we do this for EVERY kids birthday... (looks like a whole lotta nothing without the whipped cream :-(  ) This was the first year Eva has had to wait to open her presents..daddy was at work & Dane had a golf lesson... I am pretty sure it was worth the wait... :-) We had our family birthday this evening.. & Eva will have her friends party once school starts... lucky kids always gets two birthdays :-) Happy Birthday Princess... I love you more than you will ever know! xxx
