Party day ... morning...

While we still had our beauty sleep ...;0)))

somebody started the flight to the north of Sweden...

We had breakfast...dressed up in pink...

ALL OF US...:0)

And started to prepare for the party...

Louise had filled her suitcase with pink/white dotty tablecloths...

and a pink serving tray...

(also a stroke of genius of Petra to involve Louise in some PINK..:0)...no problem was Louise answer to Petras questions about PINK..;0)

First guests to arrive was my Mum and Dad...:0))

and the puppy "Märta"

(They started early in the morning driving for 2 1/2 hours)

Brother Gussar was kind to do the milking of the cows for them...

Thanks brother!

Dear dear mother of mine...and Märta...

( notice the pink scarf..:0)

A knock on the door!!!

And the long way distance guest arrived...

My brother Anders from Stockholm...

Big smile!!!!

(totally fooled here ...

never ever thought he would come since we were to meet at Easter...)

Such a wonderful surprise!!!!

And dressed up for a pink party with a pink shirt

and hot pink socks...LOVELY!!!

Anders and my dear Dad caught in conversation...

Really would have loved seeing Dad in some pink..

but I guess the limit was reached...

he said he came with pink skin...:0)))

And it works for me...:0)

Louise continued with preparations...

(See how fast her hands moves...:0)

Nice to have parties like this so my old china comes forward...

Inherited this from my dads aunt Irene...

pink and grey Royal Tuscan china from England

It's so thin and just beautiful...

tea tastes so good in them...

when I feel luxurious I use them and enjoys my tea even more...:0)

Pretty pink tulips from Mum and Dad...

Viktor ( with a little pink in his T-shirt)

...raised a hand to take care of Märta...

Dear daughters of mine and Jimmy came...

miraculous they seem to have succeeded

to not be on any close up photos... Bummer!!!

But photos of what they came with...lots!!!:0)

Lars had prepared some lunch which we ate before

Salmon fish soup/casserole ....Mmmmm....

Satisfied and happy we could just wait for the guests...:0)

Pink party...

So it is...

50 I am...;0)

Must confess I don't mind having my birthday...

had no paranoia turning one year older...

And having a birthday like this one... How can you not like it!!!

My dear dear family planned a little party for me...

Surprise party...with a theme:

PINK..:0)

So the home had to transform with pink little things...

and outfits for everyone with a little pink somewhere...

this I knew...not what was going to be served or who was coming...

Oh my...:0)

Turned 50 on the 13th...

and the party was on planned to the weekend after..

So we saved the celebrations for Saturday...

But some gifts and flowers I got on the 13th...:0)
