In a different continent and time zone, someone else also celebrated his birthday - TWENTY-ONE!
Lucas got woken up as per Danish tradition with singing and flag waving, by his Danish family. They then had breakfast together and he got some gifts, before he was off to Uni for the day.
In the evening the whole clan had gathered for a steak dinner so we only managed to speak with him very briefly when we came back from our dinner. It didn't really suit with the time difference, as he was in the middle of his dinner when we were about to go to bed.
Turning 21 is really only meaningful for him here in the UAE, as you have to be 21 to drink here. Lucas is already looking forward to his next visit, when he will not be our designated driver going to Craft..!
Even if it doesn't mean anything in Scandinavia to turn 21, in
Nathan's tradition this is a big one. We admittedly dropped the ball on his
gift and didn't get it sorted in time, so he will get it on the weekend
when Nathan turns up in Copenhagen. Stretching the celebrations!
