Ron's Birthday!

OK, well Ron's birthday was August 11th and I'm just now getting around to posting a blog about it! A lot was happening around the time of his birthday, we had a pretty crazy schedule for weeks - but I still wanted to make his birthday really special.

As you know, Ron is impossible to shop for, but I managed to think of a few things to get him that I knew he would appreciate. With my moms help I got him some things from America, and she also sent me some birthday decorations - which was perfect because I cannot for the life of me find decorations in Karlskrona! Whenever I go around to get decorations - the shop clerks suggest I buy a birthday card!

The day before Ron's birthday he was picking up Jimmy,his brother,from the airport in Copenhagen. Since that would take a couple of hours - I thought it would be the perfect time to decorate the apartment for Ron's birthday and get him a birthday cake and a card! Well, Ron left the house to go pick up Jimmy and I left to go downtown and buy a cake and a few other things - and then Ron called.He said Jimmy's flight was delayed and told me he was locked out of the apartment and asked where I was! So, he came downtown and we picked up a cake together, then we went home and waited to hear from Jimmy.

Jimmy was at the airport for hours - finally late that night Ron went to pick Jimmy up.Thats when I started decorating and getting the apartment ready for Ron's birthday and Jimmy's arrival!

Here are the pictures - we were still at the Outpost apartment at this time.










Jimmy and Ron got home well after midnight, and we were so excited about Jimmy arriving and Ron's birthday - that we decided to celebrate right then!

















It was a really fun night for all of us and Ron loved all of his gifts and his cards!
