Vampire-LARP and Alexandra's birthday party!

Oh hum... Where to start today? Well, we can start with resolving my last post, right? I did meet up with my LARP-mates and the OOC-drama was resolved. To my shock! Despite the flail and drama T had done during the last LARP, that Thursday he was cool as a cucumber. Even if, during the talked out scene, his character was still in very VERY mortal danger. Unfortunately his character did survive in the end and gladly my character did to. So the plot continues...

I think maybe the fact he has gotten a girlfriend lately has helped. She's really young, a vampire-LARPer as well. But I do like her. She's just 17 (or is it 18?), but she shows GREAT potential, so yeah... She's a great girl, and it seems as if they fit together. Never know if things will last when you're that young, but... It looks good for them. :-) And she's really good for him and his temper tantrums. ;-)

Anyway, so that was all kinds of good. And a lot of fun.

And then, this Saturday... Alexandra had her second birthday. :-)

It's insane how quickly these two years have FLOWN by! She's born, and suddenly life moves in superspeed.

I'd made farmers cookies (peting73's favorites), an cardamom spiced apple spongecake, a swiss roll spiced with saffron and filled with lingonberry jam and sweet buttercream. And, of course, a classic swedish birthday cake. Baked these things late LATE at night after work each day during that entire week. Motherhood = late night work.

It was worth it though, since everyone enjoyed all them baked goods. :-) But we stared with a picnic at the little yard here that belongs to the apartment building. It has a playground and some nice benches and a wooden table. So we loaded up with a BIG bowl of chicken salad for everyone and my own homemade dressing. :-) Was a great success. Alexandra and her cousins played in the playground and had a lot of fun! It was very obvious after a bit that her biggest cousin, Tilda who is starting secnod year of school, is going to be Alexandra's idol since she tried to copy everything Tilda did. *lol* It was SOOO cute! :-D

Alexandra got a ton of gifts to. :-) Really fine stuff. Doll's pram, dolls, doll clothing, toy tractor's (two!), some really nice clothes, pretend cleaning equipment (she loves "helping" me to clean...). And just really nice stuff for her to play with! I bought her two books and a child's stool that she can stand on to reach things. She's such a spoiled kid... I suspect a repeat from friends and family this Christmas... ;-)

It's good others spoil her though, since that means I don't have to. I just hope she won't get to spoiled. :-P Time will tell!
