Ríkey & Co visit and Finnur’s 40th (+363 days) Birthday Bash
[Photos from 27 July 2015, put online 08 September 2015. Yet another storm hitting.]
Monday was a busy day. My cousin Ríkey and her gang came for a day-long visit, which included american pancakes, and hot tubbing, of course.
In the evening, we handed the kids over to my brother Bjarni, while we took Finnur’s immediate family out for dinner to celebrate his 40th birthday, two days before he would turn 41 years old. Better late than never?! (16 images total)
Pancakes about to be gobbled up. Palli was a little late to join us, and Bjarki was too hungry to be photographed! Also, we TOTALLY failed at photographing the cousins playing. Tsk, tsk!
Come evening, we made our way to Lækjarbrekka with Finnur’s parents, siblings, and their spouses.
We’d been in France when Finnur turned 40 last year, so hosting a party somehow never happened. Finally, Finnur’s parents gave us a nudge, so a party was held!

Genius way to serve fish-jerky (hard-fish? dried-fish?)!
My yummy dinner.
Finnur got a complimentary dessert plate!
Happy people.
The two of us!

Downtown Reykjavik, and we heading home!
Meanwhile, my brother the babysitter kept sending hilarious snaps of the kids!
Good to know there’s a sub! 🙂
True dat!

Putting kids to bed in glaring sunlight is no small feat. The text says “All’s well here”.
HAHAHA!! Babysitting: the best contraceptive there is.
All’s well that ends well! Happy 40th honey! 🙂
