Hrefna’s Family – Sunday 16 February 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Emma attempted opening her present by eating it. It did not go so well!<\/p><\/div>\n Living room view. We’ve now entered the time of year where the low midday sun shines directly on the big windows. Yes, this year I finally noticed that we have about two months during the deepest winter where the sun doesn’t go high enough to rise above the cliff behind our house, and so our lower floor is in perpetual shadow.<\/p><\/div>\n The menu was American pancakes with tons of fruits, syrup and whipped cream. Finnur was on cutting duty while I made the pancakes.<\/p><\/div>\n Here be hungry wolves!<\/p><\/div>\n Yum, yum!<\/p><\/div>\n Drills are so much fun!<\/p><\/div>\n Fixing her dad’s head!<\/p><\/div>\n Ylfa up close.<\/p><\/div>\n Finnur and Emma hanging out.<\/p><\/div>\n Playing is fun.<\/p><\/div>\n Emma got lots of great presents. Thank you everybody!!<\/p><\/div>\n Concentrating.<\/p><\/div>\n Ylfa telling the brothers what to do…<\/p><\/div>\n She has them well trained!<\/p><\/div>\n She then picked one, and threw them a ball. So cute!<\/p><\/div>\n We’d made enough cake and muffins for today as well. This time Emma’s candle was placed on a muffin, and Anna got to light the candle.<\/p><\/div>\n Emma being sung for.<\/p><\/div>\n Bjarki doing the blowing honors.<\/p><\/div>\n Two were big enough to climb over themselves. One got a lift and Emma got to stay there!<\/p><\/div>\n The birthday girl from down low.<\/p><\/div>\n Happy birthday sweety!!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to the smallness of our abode (in particular the dining\/living room combo), we decided to split Emma’s already small birthday celebration into two parts. \u00a0<\/p>\n On Saturday afternoon we had Finnur’s family over, and mine came over for lunch on Sunday.
