Happy Birthday Betty!!!

Today is Betty Grables birthday... She would have been 94.

Here she is looking like Christmas morning (I know I said the same thing last year -it's now officially a tradition..)

I'll celebrate her by wearing some gold tinsel and doing the shimmy..

Happy Birthday, Betty!!!

It's my darling Betty Grable's birthday!!!
She would have been 93 today... God rest her soul...
Here's she is looking like Christmas morning!

Are those for me?!!

My Birthday Girl!

I can't believe she's 12 years old today!!!! What happened?!
We are going to celebrate her by going to the Christiania Christmas Marked and then we're going to eat sushi, all at her reguest...

Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! I love you!

Happy 50th Birthday, Mom!

It's my mother, Gitte's 50th birthday today! She had a big party for all of her friends and family Saturday and we stayed up 'till the early morning celebrating her and playing all her favorite Elvis songs (all his songs..)
Here she is with me in her lap in the late (-you guessed it..) 70's... The photographer must have applied an orange filter -in real life her hair was brown and mine blond.
Even though she was born in the same year as Barbie she never actually had a real Barbie doll herself (they were too expensive...) only a rip-off called a mannequin doll. For Mother's Day this year I bought her a real Barbie doll, a reproduction of the 1959 version with dark brown hair. I made a 1950's inspired wedding dress for it using tulle and vintage lace with lily-of-the-vally flowers on it (my mothers favorite flowers..) She loved it!
For her birthday my sister and I got her a gift card for a tattoo! She's always wanted Tinkerbell from her favorite cartoon Peter Pan, but never did.. now she's going to! She was so happy!
Love you, Mom!

Happy (belated) Birthday, Daddy!
