I’m using a photo from my archives to illustrate the fact that it’s Wille’s 17th birthday today! Hipp hipp hurray!
What did he get? On the day of the iPad2 launch a couple of weeks ago I transferred the correct amount to his account and he queued up at he Mac store as it opened together with what seemed like half the population in Stockholm. After a fair bit of waiting he finally got his white iPad. One happy boy. Check!
So this morning wouldn’t be completely without gifts I also got him some Apple in ear head phones which I knew he wanted and which were a surprise because I’d said he’d received his gift already. I love surprising him :).
Happy birthday Wille, you’re the best!
Happy birthday to Wille!
And congratulations to selling the house, that must feel good!

Wow, what a cool mom you are (I like how you made the money part easy and let him go get it... waiting in line and ascribing to all the hype is definitely part of the fun!) Grattis på födelsedagen to Willie!

Sto lat! = May you live 100 years. This is what we say in Poland as an equivalent to "Happy Birthday". Have fun with your iPad2!.

Wow. A white iPad = a VERY happy birthday indeed! :)

Yay! I got my wife an Ipad2 for her birthday next week. Bought it in London from someone who queued all night, it will be a real rarity in Helsinki we only got the Ipad 1 a couple of months ago.
