It's my birthday!

What a birthday week it has been! Mom and dad had planned a birthday party for me on Saturday the 21st of Nov. Here is the invite they sent out. The theme was travel; Paris, Stockholm and Beijing the destinations.
Tuesday the 17th was my actual birthday and mom and dad came in and sang to me in the morning. I got a fruit tart with 2 candles in it (yum!), and some choooooocolate, mmmm! I also got several gifts.
Mom and dad bought a cake for me that we brought to my daycare. Everyone there sang Happy Birthday to me too!
Then, in the evening another present had arrived in the mail from Sara, Steven, Ebba and Inez. I got a pair of pants and t-shirt with flowers on, a fun Emma DVD, Lilla Spöket Laban balloons and little party candles that looks like animals. So much fun!
From my grandma I got an Alfons DVD and some handkerchiefs. From mom and dad I got alphabet blocks, a baking set, a puzzle, a basket with plastic fruit and 2 t-shirts, although they didn't make it in this picture. I love the DVD and the fruit basket the most!!
Yesterday I tried out my new baking set. I helped mom bake Eifel Tower cookies for the birthday party. I did a few cookies, but then I got tired (and full from eating the dough) so went to bed. I guess mom had to finish up the cookies.
Saturday the guest finally arrived. We had a buffet table with food from the 3 different theme countries; meatballs, potato gratin, and "peppar kakor" (=ginger bread cookies) from Sweden, panini, mini quiche and Eifel tower cookies from France and mini dim sum-like food from China. It was all very good!
Time for the cake that mom had made. I tried to blow out the candles but it was quite hard so mom and Bella had to help me a bit. It was a team effort!
Yum! The cake was good! We had such a good time! We also played a lot of fun games and did a postcard craft. Zander was very good at solving the games!
Then it was time to open the presents. It was really fun to open them. I got so many nice things.
Before everyone left they got a nice goodie bag to bring with them home.
Wow, look at all the gifts I got. A book and dress from Lisa and Scott, a drum from Bella, pants, socks, t-shirt and a stickerbook from Chloe and 2 puzzles and a wooden train from Zander! I will be VERY busy playing with my new toys in the coming weeks!
What a fun party week! I have had so much fun. I wish it could be my birthday more often!
