My 17th Birthday

14th may 2011

Riiiiiiing....Riiiiiiing....Riiiiiiiing....

God damn, who's calling me this time a day? Happy Birthday Julie!!!! We miss youuuuu!

-Mille & Rie, my two best friends from Denmark, managed to wake me up on my birthday, what a lovely surprise!

Afterwards I went to my parents bedroom with Lucy where I got my pressies from my lovely family (Kieren wasn't home) Lucy gave me a cowtorch, as the farmer girl i am! I got a keyring, a beautiful scarf and a silver bracelet with small charms you can put on (OperaHouse, Kangaroo and Australia) Brian made us pancakes for breaky with his pancake music playing in the background.

It was a cold morning but the most beautiful morning sun showed! What a good girl I've been this year!
After a nice shower, Brian, Lucy and I went to the shops, I had decided to cook them traditional danish dinner on my Birthday so now I had to find the ingredients. I thought it would be a challenge, but not really I found it all in the village center which was good.
I started cooking straight after we came back for the shops: Duck with brown gravy, brown potatoes, potatoes, chips, redcabbage in a jar, cucumber salat and for dessert: Daim Icecream!
Basically I cooked most of the day, around 4-5ish Annie and I picked up Sara from the station, she was sleeping over + we picked Emma from school up, she was staying over for dinner.
Of course the theme was Denmark, so we all wore red and white clothes! The table was covered in flags, and even the peanut cubcakes Annie made for afternoon tea was covered in red iceing with white chocolate bottoms.
Emma gave me a gorgeous bracelet saying: Forever Friends, and on the back: Jordbær
Which in Danish means strawberry (My nickname for Emma)
Sara gave me the most thoughtful present i've ever been given -a pink little sack full of different little notes like: a bag full of pure luck etc. It was brilliant!

Sara, Lucy and I danced the peacock dance which was quite funny. Soon it became time for dinner! Everything was cooked so perfectly and I was proud as! Best thing: Family and friends loved it :)
But one thing I found out was: .....cream here is very different from danish cream.... so my icecream didn't turn out as good, as it should have been. But still my dinner had been succes.
Emma got picked up early and Sara/I watched the European Song contest in the teli! Denmark was amazing, a really good song<3

We watched a couple of other movies and it got late. We slept in the living room in front of the teli, so yer I fell asleep in the mittle of one of the movies.

But final conclusion: Aussie birthday is just as good as danish!
Thanks to everyone, I had the most splendid day ever!
