The last few weeks have been busy with parties every weekend in Paris or out at La Queue with Paul's family. His mom's birthday was a couple weeks ago and we all gathered to make her a cake and open some presents. The kids helped blow out the candles.
Then Van turned 4 years old the next week and we repeated it all over again. We gave him a frisbee and a water gun and he also loved new playmobile cars.
This last weekend we celebrated the 4th of July with my friends from work in front of the Eiffel Tower. We had a picnic where everyone brought some food and we wore red, white and blue while listening to some American music. We didn't stay long enough to light up the sparklers since Julia had to get to bed.
The summer is just beginning though, and we have Bastille Day here in France next week!
Happy birthday, Margaret! Happy birthday, Van! Happy birthday, America! Julia's red, white, and blue is so cute.
ReplyDeletedescribe Van's cake to me--what is it made of? what is on top with the candles?
ReplyDeleteVan had a white cake with frosting and a bike made out of candy because they gave him a bike after. In the picture, Margaret's cake is a strawberry (fraisier) cake with berries on top.

ReplyDeleteO.K. but it looks like there are 7 candles on top!?
ReplyDeleteAll right, I just remembered that it was also Margaret's birthday last month, never mind how many candles are on the cake! Who made her cake?
ReplyDeleteI think a bakery made her cake. :)
