And then Sabsy was 6!! Happy Birthday my little firecracker!

Oh sweet, sweet Sabsy! Happy 6th birthday! Gah, i love you so! You are hilarious, fun, loving, positive, precious, darling, scrumptious, and just plain perfect! I seriously want to freeze time. You are everything and I love you so very much!

You have lost your first tooth, are a quick little math wiz, an amazing big sister, an amazing and sometimes pestering little sister (doing your job), a great little bike rider, swimmer, and friend.

You love the river, barbies, music, dancing, playing pretend, being with your family, tide pools, pancakes, candy stores, playgrounds, waffles, broccoli soup, strawberries and the idea of treats (though very particular about your treats), playing Sleeping Queens, Rat-a-tat-cat, homemade pizza, and performing all your little characters.

You have a love for life and are full of pure joy. The littlest things make you happy and I just love looking a life through your little eyes.

Happy 6th bday sweet rabbit. You are sitting here squeezing  a toy to annoy me and get me to stop typing so if you’re 30 and reading this wishing i typed more about your 6yr old self…blame your 6yr old self.

Almost 6!!!

This little peanut is almost 6yrs old (insert flood of tears here). We made some cupcake cones to bring and celebrate with her buddies at Tania’s. I didnt get a pic of all them together but they were a hit and the girls were happy to see their lil buddies again!

Tooskie helped me wrap all the surprises for the treasure hunt and gifts while the girls were at school :).

10hr flight – check! Made it to Florida and Nana was there for a mega surprise!

Toosk made it through another 10 hour flight like a champ. She has proven to be quite the little traveler and put up with sleeping in all sorts of new places, massive time changes, midnight sun, planes, trains, buses, taxis, ubers, etc! Of course Sissy and Sabsy always rock it and this time was no different.

When we got Florida we were so exhausted that we forgot our stroller in the airport and sadly someone either snagged it or it is floating in a mysterious corner in the airport that no one can find. Inside the stroller were my running sneakers so at least they have each other.

I also came down with 101 fever the day after we arrived in Florida so that was a bummer but I am oh so glad I felt much better the following morning before all our travels back to CR began.

Nana was waiting at the airbnb and the kiddos had no clue. It was a quick but exciting surprise for them and they really had no idea. So cute to see them light up when the door opened and Nana appeared! Fun times for all and the jet lag as usually we much easier on the way back- whew! Next stop SJ!

Playing catch up again. Here are some from our last weeks in Copenhagen!

It was Jazz week in Copenhagen so we hit up a few of the free concerts and had a blast as always just walking around and enjoying the playgrounds, parks, food, etc. Sophie found her love for basketball, Sabsy decided she wasn’t scared of big slides or playground zip lines, and Roo discovered she loved to chomp on dried apricots, strawberries, bread, and basically anything we are eating. She also thinks she is mega cool sipping water from everyone’s cups. Oh and Sissy learned how to blow bubbles with gum! Def going to miss this city! Next stop Florida (with a surprise…)

First full day exploring Bergen

Yesterday we braved the cold and walked around town. We didn’t really have a destination because we only had about 2 hours since we got a late start and the girls had online classes they had to be back for.

We ended up heading to a bakery at the end in search of hot chocolate. The bakery didn’t have hot chocolate but they ended up having a cookie pick n mix so of course it was a big win! The girls picked out all diff cookies to try and we got them a hot pineapple cider. The owners were super nice and after chatting with them for a bit they told us to wait and wanted to give us something to take back to CR.

He came out with 2 jars of homemade jam and 2 jars of white cherries from Norway. So fun to meet people when traveling and try all different types of homemade specialties.

We made it to Bergen! Sabs first meal without a tooth.

Well, the 5 hour drive to Bergen ended up taking closer to 8 hours but we made it and everyone was great! First the tunnel was closed so we had to turn back and go a different way, then that ferry was broken so we had to turn back and do the hour drive all over again and finally we were on our way!

When we arrived in Bergen the guy who met us to let us in to the airbnb was a sicilian guy named Guiseppe. He told us to come to his restaurant around the block and he would give us a discount. We went that same night and it was our favorite meal on our entire trip. He gave kids free ice pops and gave us a major discount. He sat with us at our table eating ice pop and chatted away. Ugh he reminded all of us of Papa and had a mix of Nana in him too. We wished we took a picture with him but we were too busy chatting away. One of our favorite things about traveling is all the people you meet along the way. Now i just want to head to Sicily.
