Bjarki Turns Thir-TEEN Years Old

2020-06-28Birthday, Bjarki, Finnur's family, Hrefna's family, Us Standard

[Photos taken 28 – 30 June 2020, posted online 28 December 2020. I’m on vacation until the new year, with no plans. First Covid-19 vaccine boxes landed in Iceland this morning. ]

Bjarki is now officially a teenager. We celebrated by hosting two parties, one for each family, a day apart. Thankfully the weather cooperated. (30-ish images total)

Obligatory photo of the birthday boy.
There’s one tiny plant that basically flowers when it’s Bjarki’s birthday, and then no more.
Anna was master baker, as usual these days.
ThirTEEN!
There would be hot dogs and hamburgers.
People! In our living room!!

Being silly. Bjarki’s wish was to get enough money to buy himself an electric scooter. There may have been some cash inside that book…
We ended the day with a quick soak in the hot tub.
