Anniversary and Birthday

Saturday was my anniversary. Hans and I have managed to survive our first year as a married couple without killing each other. 

He wanted to take me out to dinner, but his plans didn't go as he'd hoped. So, I made dinner instead. I cooked steaks in a pan for the first time in my life, and surprisingly they turned out pretty darn tasty. I also made some fresh Spanish bread and a strawberry cheesecake. After dinner, we watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy, and by 10:45pm we were both worn out and in bed. 

The flowers on the left are from Hans and the ones on the right are from his parents.

It's not the best picture, but the hearts are a gift from Hans' parents.

Saturday was also our nephew's Birthday!

Jonas turned 2, and we celebrated on Sunday. Jens and Mathilde rented a summer house (owned by Jens' and Hans' aunt and uncle) and everyone was there.

We had 3 cakes, some chocolate chip bread, and chocolate muffins!

This is the strawberry cheesecake I made the night before. (Every last bite was eaten.)

Being the oldest, Laura had to help Jonas blow out his candles.

Here's Jonas, his mom (Mathilde), and his aunt Maline playing Jonas' new guitar.

Shortly after, Laura and Jonas needed to inspect the pictures Jens was taking.

Then it was time for their pictures to be taken.

I'm pretty sure Rebecca (my new niece) was the only one who was still for this shoot.

Jonas was all over the place.

 Martin was too!

Laura stayed pretty still, but she was holding the baby, and she's in love with the camera!

I'll post about the beach tomorrow, but before I go, I wanted to share these with you. 

After the party was ending and most of the family had left, I heard Jonas and his farmor (father's mother/grandma) talking quietly. I couldn't see them, but I knew Jonas had been playing under the dining table.

When I got up to see where they were, I found them both laying on the floor. Enjoying each other's company.

This just makes my heart melt!
