Somehow, my uncle Arnar (who is only a hop and a skip older than I am) is now 50 years old!  To celebrate, he hosted a small get-together with the closest family members and some friends. (24-ish images total)

The birthday “boy” with his trademark “what, me, 50?” look.

Pretty flower!
The kids had a good time!
Kiddie fun!
More hilarity!
The younger offspring playing a song for us all.
Father and daughter listening.
More audience members. Arnar did a really good job hiding from my camera that day!!
The offspring kept playing, this time on piano.
Anna even played a song or two. This was the spring she started asking (very politely) for a “real” piano…
Happy times!

… but that wasn’t all that happened that day!

That morning, Finnur and I had gone out on a pokemon event run. Poor Finnur had twisted his ankle very badly playing football, so he had to use a crutch. Thankfully his ankle got better quickly.
Busy building times downtown.
Post-event lunch at the newly opened food-hall at Hlemmur. Good stuff!
That afternoon, the girls and I swapped the winter bike tires out for the summer ones. Yay for spring!
The day ended with some girlfriends downtown, attending a party-bingo!!!

It was a weird night, very loud, very raucous, but also full of laughter and fun!  I ended up winning two free cocktails at a restaurant nearby, so that was extra fun!
