Sophie's Birthday

Sophie celebrated her 9th birthday on Friday the 21st. Originally the party (an overnight) was planned for the 14th/15th but poor Sophie got the stomach bug so we had to delay it a week. She was very disappointed at the time but recovered when she realized it would prolong the celebrating of her birthday for a week! So she spent her actual birthday sick but had lots of fun when she finally had her party! Like last year we had "Happy birthday" sung in several languages- German, Italian and English. I can't believe she is nine!!
