Our baby is 18!

We have had such an amazing weekend - a very special birthday weekend! Our baby is now 18! How is this possible??
It wasn't that long ago she turned 1, look how cute she was then!

Now, she is an adult, but - she is still so cute! Love her to bits!

She was so lucky as to have her birthday on a Saturday, and even more lucky that her big brother was able to come down to Abu Dhabi and celebrate with her.

So all was as it should be, she got woken up with singing, balloons and birthday presents from the whole family! She got a set of novels about dogs (in Swedish), an overnight curls-set, a 2024 planner, some Groot Lego, a Lush bath bomb and an embossing tool for her book collection.

She got very, very spoiled - so many gifts! Mormor had sent their presents along in the summer. Just like Lucas, Linnea received a pair traditional Skara candlestick holders. But also some cash and a pair of classic gold hoops. Auntie Nikki had also sent some cash (and all that quickly got spent later in the day).

Lucas had bought the signature tea from Tehuset Java in Lund, a skin product and some eyelash serum. He did well. Her big gift from us was a record player, and a few records to start her collection.

Birthday on a weekend is great, you can really enjoy a long breakfast - with pancakes of course, from Nathan's new machine! Mmm!

We went to Yas Mall very quickly as Lucas had some shopping to do, and Linnea's birthday money was burning in her pocket already, ha ha! Then we spent most of the rest of the day by the pool back home in the compound, best family time!

In the evening we went out for a very special birthday dinner, but that deserves its own post!
