Lots happened in June

First of all, Noni came to visit. Yay! This was her first time to meet Zahra, and Zahra's first time meeting a grandparent, so it was very exciting for us all. Zahra and Noni loved each other straight away.

Then, Zahra turned 6 months old. That meant she could start eating food, and boy was she happy about that. Here is her carrot face.

We thought her being 6 months was a good time to celebrate her Welcome to the World party. We had a little picnic in the park with some of our friends. We asked everyone to bring a wish for Zahra's life, and you can see them here writing them down to put in her wish box. We read them out and then we had some of the yummy chocolate cake we ate the morning Zahra was born and then we had a pinata for the kids.

Here I am having my turn at the pinata.

And you can see everyone watching and waiting for the pinata to break. All the Dadas really wanted to have a turn too.

Zahra loved her party. She looked at each person as they read out a wish for her and seemed very interested, like she was taking it all very seriously. This is her at home late at night after it was all over - still happy and ready to keep partying!

I also had another party that day - a farewell party from my Kinderhaus. I am starting school in August so it was time for me to say goodbye to all my kindergarten friends. I wasn't very sad, because I know I will see them again. In fact, I loved having a little party just to say goodbye and said it was my best day ever! I gave everyone a little koala and a card with this photo on it to remember me.
June really was a party month. Noni had her birthday on the 16th and we took her to a nice hotel in Strasbourg to celebrate. Zahra and I surprised her when she woke up in the morning. We got changed into some matching dresses that Zia had sent us. Noni loved it.

Then of course came the best party of all - my birthday party! I got so many cool presents.

In the afternoon I had a party with my friends at the movies. There was a Princess Lillifee film on and me and my friends like her (well, the boys don't like her so much but they were happy to come anyway). We watched the movie together and then we had a party with games and cake and opening presents and running around popping balloons. I loved it.
Last weekend I had my Acroballet show. I did lots of cartwheels and somersaults and bridges and here I am taking a bow at the end.

Oh, one more thing happened in June. I got married! Here I am with my husband Lenz. He has red hair like me and is really funny. He likes football and Power Rangers and playing with me. He is one year younger than me, but I don't mind. His birthday is the day after mine, so I got to go to his party too. Anyway, after all this partying, I am glad that it is summer holidays now - I need a rest!
