Alvin & Ivar, 6 years old!

November 29th Alvin and Ivar turned 6! According to birthday tradition in our family, the day started out with the birthday song and presents and breakfast in bed. Or, at least, breakfast in the bedroom... The boys were so excited! As Ivar sat there, opening his morning presents, he said: "This is what life is all about!"

Later in the afternoon they had a birthday party with 8 of their friends! And wow, was that a party...! I didn't get any pictures of the chaos that erupted about two minutes into the party, simply because there was no chance of even getting the camera out. It calmed down eventually, and Alvin and Ivar really enjoyed themselves!

The kids played a couple of games, ate some cake and cookies, and of course, watched as the boys opened all of the presents.

What started out as a mad house, ended up being a fun party. Jens and I were even alive when it was over, two hours later!
