Birthdays and surprises!

You won't believe it, but I'm 4 now! And being a 4 year old sure is good. I have had the best couple of days. First, on the weekend, I went to my friend Nepheli's birthday party. I had the best time there, and even got my face painted by a clown!


Next, I had a HUGE surprise. My Noni flew all the way from Australia to be here in time for my birthday! And she didn't even tell me she was going to! She didn't tell my Mama either, and we were both stunned. When I woke up on Monday morning and saw my Noni lying in the bed in the spare room all I could do was shake my head and say "what a funny surprise!"

The day just got better and better because in the afternoon all my friends came over for a party.

We had yummy food and party games and even a ladybird birthday cake.

All my friends sang Happy Birthday to me - first in English, then in Italian, then in French and then in German! It was very Swiss!!! Then my friend Ariane blew out the candles for me, which everyone else thought was very funny. I wasn't so sure. Luckily I got to blow them out myself straight after. Mama and I made this pinata for all the kids to hit.

We filled it up with lollies and little toys and I loved gathering them all up once they fell out.

The next day was my real birthday and I got to have cake all over again at the Kinderhaus with my friends. Then I went to ballet and everyone sang to me there, and at night we went to the sports club for a swim and dinner. Today I slept and slept. Being a 4 year old is hard work!
