Bjarki’s 10th Birthday Celebration
[Photos taken on 02 July 2017, posted online on 17 October 2017. The days are getting noticeably shorter.]
We’ve come a long way from the Night of Extreme Drama, some 10 years ago. Yes, that means, Bjarki’s now 10 years old!
To celebrate, we held a customary birthday bash for family and friends. Just to see how it would go, we sourced almost all the food at Costco, which went fairly well.
On to the photos (18 images total)!
The birthday cake. We got it at Costco, and Anna added the personal touch.

Finnur resting, as his broken collar bone didn’t allow him to stay upright for very long at a time.
Emma insisted on color-sorting our Ikea party gear.
Guests!
Bjarki lighting the candles on the cake, and then…
… suffering silently through the Happy Birthday song!
Eating time!
The weather was nice enough to sit outside.

Proof I was there!
Doing the best part.
The audience.
The adults reclaimed the living room while…
… some of the kids hopped into the hot tub.
After a lot of chatting, eating, and hot tubbing, the party came a close. Here is Emma with a few fun things, after the party.
