Italy and Wai Man & Giovanni's wedding weekend

The kids got to spend a long weekend with Morten's parents and we took off to Italy for a romantic get-away at Lake Como and a beautiful wedding a la Wai Man & Giovanni in Milano!

Lake Como, what a place!!






Wai Man & Giovanni's beautiful wedding!!
Was great to be part of their wedding celebration, and to see both of them again!
Great surprise, several of our Hong Kong friends were there as well, so had a great
afternoon and evening together :)

♥ Matilde 1 year old ♥

Our little Matilde has turned one year old and we celebrated her two times, first with the Swedish cousins and then with the Danish ones. The latter was a joint celebration of Matilde and Sofie, who turned 5 years old.

♥ Happy 1st Birthday Matilde ♥


 
The Birthday Train for Sofie, 5 years old!!

Traditional Danish B-day rolls for breakfast, and
of course with the red-and-white flag!
 


"I got my OWN muffin!!" but the flag tasted a lot better....
 





Sonia, Lars and little Axel came by. They have a summer house
down the street, perfecto :-)

Kalle family visiting :-)

For a week, Morten's sister Anette and cousins Mads & Sofie visited us. Most of the time, we had nice weather and when it was raining (a.k.a. Danish summer weather....), we read books and played with the iPad - thank Godness for digital gadgets ;-)

 

We have a huge swimming pool in the summer house..... ;-)


 





Forgot sunscreen to Matilde... she wasn't to excited about her new outfit for obvious reasons...


 
 

 
 Anette & Sofie prepares birthday muffins for the following day, and Morten & Hannah are watching Pippi Longstocking, very relaxing evening :-)

Hannah's best friend from Hong Kong visits!

Olivia and her parents Jana & Petr visit us all the way from Hong Kong! Was really great seeing them all again, and to see Hannah & Oli together. For sure, they remember one another and had a really good time.

We managed to spend time at the beach (even though we picked a spot with loads of irritating bugs...), play mini-golf, play 'kubb', play board games (yes, a lot of focus on games :)  ) and of course running around the the yard.

Ice cream at the mini golf place

Great mini golf place with lots of activities :-)





Oli taking a break :-)


Bubbles was definitely a hit: the older girls blow bubbles and Matilde chased them, everyone excited and happy :)




Dinner is in preparation by the grill master......




 



















Some serious puzzle making :)
