Birthday Celebration!

Steffi came on Sunday evening and "slaved" in the kitchen all day Monday and on Tuesday, the 1st 


Lots of presents


Anne Perry mystery novels, which take place in the Victorian era

DVD "Tangled" from Mandukas (they were telling me about it at the retreat)


A collection of books for the Hobby-Gärtner from Dietmar's parents!

Now what could be rattling in this little container?


A key!????  Maybe to this next box-shaped package?
 

What is this???  A bicycle lock?!

Steffi had secretly and successfully transported the bicycle from her house to ours.

Truly the beginning of a new life phase for me!!  Thanks, Steffi and Dietmar!

Steffi - the cake-, cupcake-, and brownie-whisperer

Tulips from our yard - not just yellow ones (well, maybe now, since we cut these)

Prepping for the Greek food to arrive!







Steffi's creations - all very yummy!
 
Apple pie!


Roche torte!

Brownies!
 
Strawberry cake!


Birthday greetings over Skype - Freya, Lena and Henry (also, from Thomas, Gina and Winnie)
 
"Royal" birthday wishes

DVDs with British monarchy themes
 
The gang's all here!

By the way, I love the movie Young Victoria! Can't watch it without a box of tissues.
