Sonja's Party

Sonja's birthday was a lot of fun! Linnea and I made carrot cake for the exciting event.

Linnea took this picture of me filling a cupcake.



Here is Linnea filling up some more cupcakes.



The birthday turned out to be an all day affair! In the morning Sonja had her birthday breakfast.



In the afternoon we went to Mom's group at church and we sang "Happy Birthday" to her there and played with balloons.

For dinner, I made spaghetti with meatballs and Linnea made fruit salad. Then after dinner we wore party hats and had blowers, we sang again, had cake and ice cream, and then opened presents. Needless to say, the girls were pretty hyped up last night. But it was a good thing, it was all in all a very fun day!
















Sonja was a little bewildered by all of the excitement and attention, but she really seemed to enjoy her first birthday.

Today we went to Öppen Förskola again and had a great time. There were 3 other 3 year old girls there for Linnea to play with. One who speaks Swedish but can understand English because her father speaks to her in English (he is Swedish but wants her to learn English), one who speaks French but can understand English and the other who speaks English and Swedish. The little girl who speaks Swedish and English just moved here with her family from Australia in January and will be staying in Sweden for a year. Sound familiar? I exchanged information with her mom and we are going to get together sometime soon to play and watch "The Wiggles".
In addition to all the little girls, there was also a mom and 1 year old son who are from Austria and speak German! A very international place!
