Cake and Bubbly

An eventful weekend for the little one who was invited to a birthday party and went for a daytrip to Sandefjord. He didn't seem to mind all the activity as he slept whenever the opportunity arouse. Slightly more difficult task to get around with a baby, but we are getting the hang of it. It's great to be able to do some "normal" stuff again.

With that said, this post is suppose to be about my friend Arna's birthday gathering. She made some lovely cake that tasted like heaven. Together with some bubbly it was definitely a recipe for success.

Champagne and strawberries..

And non alcoholic beverages for the preggies at one of my closest friend's 30th birthday bash. There were quite a few of us actually. Must be the agething. But the lovely hostess had thought about that and had bought in non-alcoholic wine and champagne. The weather was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even managed to stay up until midnight. I hope the birthday girl had a blast. Browsing through the pics, it seemed like she did.

Tapas

Sweets for dessert.

What I wore to the party.

Had a minor outfit crisis as the dress that I was suppose to wear was seethrough. So I was frantically looking for something else to wear in my closet which really isn't easy nowadays. Luckily I had this maxi skirt that I just wore as a dress with a belt. Worked out ok I suppose. Crisis averted.

Still a birthday girl

I've been really spoiled for my birthday this year and I still keep receiving gifts from people. Big ❤ to all of you! Here are a few of the ones that I'm already using:

Perfume from Chloe, scented candle from Diptyque and a bracelet from Tous

Birthday bash

I was exhausted and have been spending days recuperating, but it was all worth it. I spent the weekend celebrating my birthday with five of my lovely friends at Holsmbu Spa. It couldn't have turned out any better (not even the big theme birthday party I planned out in my head a couple of years back could have been better). All we did was just relax and eat and it was just perfect. Thank you so much to the girls for the company and my husband for the lovely present.

On my actual birthday I was so tired from the weekend activities that I just stayed at home relaxing. We did manage to grab a quick bite at this Indian restaurant near by in the evening. All in all a perfect ending to a very relaxing celebration.

A million thanks

Turning the big 3-0 didn't turn out to be so bad in my state thanks to these lovely people. More to come.
