Birthday Love

Sachertorte is amazing. Oma (grandma) made a homemade Sachertorte for my birthday yesterday and I couldn't help but eat two pieces...one and half before 10 am. The Karlingers' know me so well! I was gifted with expensive and delicious chocolates from Austria and Europe and I can't wait to eat them. I also received two puzzles of Austria...one of the countryside and one of Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. (I will blog more about my newfound obesession with puzzles in the near future.)

Moritz hid multiple presents for me in my room...mostly of the snack variety and Simon, not to be outdone, gave me a carton of 10 quail eggs fresh from his small farm.

But the best part of celebrating my birthday with the Karlingers was that I could feel the love and warmth radiating from the entire family. When does one start to feel like they are a part of family? Cause I think I'm getting close.

How blessed I feel and how thankful I am to the One who made me. Prost (cheers) to another year of life!!
