21

Nadya turned 21 on May 23rd! It was great to be able to celebrate it with her, although Yelena who also has her birthday that day (she turned 16) was a little sad that I wasn't with her. But fortunately her dad did a great job spoiling her! Maybe next year we can celebrate it all together.

The cake is a homemade cheese cake. I'm very proud that I managed to whip the whipping cream just with a whisk!

Oh and if you look carefully you can see that she is wearing the necklace I gave her for her birthday with her name in Arabic. Some might remember the little jeweler and the workshop where I ordered it. https://365project.org/ingrid01/oman/2022-04-26

That is a pretty necklace and such a great gift to remember your stay in Oman. Happy birthday to your daughters.

Happy birthday Nadya! So your mixer hasn’t arrived yet? I’ve whipped egg whites with a whisk, it’s a lot of work! I remember the necklace, it is lovely. Nadya looks so happy. Happy birthday to Yelena too. 🥰
