Happy Birthday to Viggo!
Happy Birrrrtttthdaaaay deeeaar Viggo and Meeeee!!!
Happy Birthday to us!!!
Those who know me well, will probably be shocked to see that I am not only admitting that someone else was born on September 23rd, but that I am openly sharing my birthday with another person! haha. Last year, I was sooo excited to hear that my friend Marianne had given birth to her sweet son Viggo on September 23rd. So now, adorable little Danish Viggo and I are birthday buddy's and I can't think of a cuter little kiddo the share my day with!

Finally...the big 2-8!! This is very strange, and people have made fun of me for this, but for as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be 28. It seemed like the perfect age. Still quite young, yet old enough to be taken seriously and have a semi-defined life. I hope my 28th year goes nice and slow in a very fun and exciting kind of way.
Since my birthday falls on a Sunday this year, I got the very rare, but very fun "Birthday Weekend" This only works for us if our birthdays fall on a Sunday, because it usually feels funny to still be celebrating on the day after.
Yesterday we spent the day in Copenhagen. I've been craving a Guinness (from tap not a can) since we got back from Ireland, so we went to one of the many Irish pubs in the city and got a delicious pint of Guinness. From there we went to Tivoli for lunch. We have a year card so we get free entrance. It closes this weekend until Halloween so we thought we would use it one last time for the summer season. From there we walked around Copenhagen and went to a few places we hadn't been since we left in 2003.

Today has been great so far. We got up, had some breakfast, went to the gym, ate some lunch with a half bottle of champagne and now Michael has locked himself away in the kitchen making me a cake! Every year he usually orders me a cheesecake from the cheesecake factory to be delivered to me on my birthday. Not so easy to do from here, so he told me to find a recipe for anything and he would make it.... I will be sure to post pictures of it tomorrow!Also I need to say a happy one day late birthday to my wonderful and beautiful niece Alex! I still remember going to the hospital to meet her after she was born and now she is 14!!!!!!!! She is one of the very few people that continually make me feel REALLLLLY old, only because she is getting so grown up herself.
