it's been a wild and wonderful half year...

Happy Birthday Lena!

Lena turns 4 today! She is having a special day filled with all her favorite things...
Her dad made waffles with strawberries, bananas and whipped cream for breakfast. She picked out many special do-dads for her birthday hairdo and is wearing her fancy new dress from her great aunt. At the moment she's watching Star Wars, and we're making dirt cake for dessert. Sounds like my kind of day!
