On this gorgeous US Independence Day, we hosted a family birthday celebration in honor of\u00a0Bjarki turning 9 years old.<\/p>\n

It was a pretty standard birthday party except there was a small interruption in the middle as everybody gathered in front of the television to watch the Icelandic national football team drive into downtown on a roofless bus, being greeted as heroes by thousands, after their 2016 Euro Cup performance!

\"Bjarki's<\/a>

Bjarki’s cake, and some extra items. The sword was there to raise the plate up, because the cake was a bit crooked. \u00a0It sure tasted good though!<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"As<\/a>

As a nice change from pretty much always, I’d finished cutting and setting things up before the first guests arrived. Maturity?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"My<\/a>

My side of the family, camping out on our couch.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Bjarki<\/a>

Bjarki with his new humongous water gun, and a little sister who really wanted to try it.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This<\/a>

This has been one of the best summers ever, and we took advantage of it by having people sit outside too.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The smallest munchkin with his mom.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Siblings<\/a>

Siblings engaging in a water fight, with spectators.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Our<\/a>

Our soon-to-be-painted house.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"My<\/a>

My cousin R\u00edkey, taking a short break from taking photos.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Nice<\/a>

Nice times.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"TV<\/a>

TV turned on.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The crowd gathers.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The announcer on the tv going crazy, like usual.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"That's<\/a>

That’s a lot of people!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Singing<\/a>

Singing the Happy Birthday song for Bjarki. Two boys who live next door ended up as surprise guests (as the hot tub opened), but the more the merrier.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"No<\/a>

No singing!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Success!\"<\/a>

Success!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
