it was wonderful happiness celebrating elias' 12th birthday. starting out at our breakfast table with a long meandering row of candles and the wooden chickens... there is no need to tell you how happy the big boy was!
later in the day the grand parents showed up and "delivered" o yummy cake topped with lots of their own strawberries! them being happy not having to fly across the atlantic as in past years but just a mere 30 minutes car ride.
and once more the swing on our chestnut tree, it is a dependable source of happiness, even more so on a birthday day!
