Alice had been a very good girl, since it was hot and sunny on her birthday yesterday. Yes, here in Denmark, good weather = good behaviour, bad weather = bad behaviour. Tough luck for those born in winter then... .
We had been seeing temperatures of around 30 deg C all weekend, and also today. Hopefully for many days more since I like not having to carry a sweater around. But yesterday was perfect BBQ weather, so that was how we celebrated Alice's addition of a year.
Boys and toys. My Martin checking out Alice's Martin's HTC Diamond mobile phone (rival of the iPhone).
Grillmaster at work. If there's one thing I like about BBQs, it's that the guys usually do most of the work :o).
The pit, the pit, the pit is on fire.
At where Alice and Martin live. Not my Martin; Alice's Martin!
It's actually a part of the student apartments ("kollegium" in Danish) at the Danish Technical University where Alice's Martin is studying and part-time working at.
Food! The potatoes didn't get "cooked" even after HOURS! Guess they needed their aluminium wrappings around them to cook faster, those spoilt and rebellious potatoes!
Patiently waiting for food.
Gobble, gobble, gobble!
Alice's Martin caught a bugging bee with his chopsticks! After many tries, though.
But then shortly after, he did it again with another bee! Have to take my hat off to Sensei now.
Break time from food = table football time.
Outfit was bought by my Martin, with some help from my sister, Claudia, while they were holidaying in Bulgaria recently.
Alice's Martin made this cake! Looks very professionally done, yeah? Family receipe, he said. Oh, 1 thing about Danes is that they are so proud of their little country that they use their country's flag for all kinds of celebrations, especially birthdays. Talk about patriotism.
Here's Alice the birthday princess at last!
MINE! ALL MINE! Healthy stuff, filled with fruits (grapes, pineapples, strawberries and bananas). Who said dessert has to be unhealthy? Well, that's what I try to convince myself at least - that this cake is very healthy... .

Hey, I should have 打包 some leftover food from you yesterday to help you finish them ;o). Didn't think of it until after we left. Anyway, once again, 祝你生日快乐!!!
