Elisabet's birthday

Elisabet turned four (vier) on Thursday last week and we celebrated with hot dogs (her request) and chocolate heart cupcakes. The cupcakes turned out beautifully- they were more like a brownie than a cake and we polished them off with some tasty Swiss ice cream. For her birthday, Elisabet asked for a doll stroller and playmobil. The playmobil was at the strong suggestion of Leif who thought she would really like playing with a set that had a vet, some animals, and a small building (i.e. and so would HE). They have creatively designed some extra things for the set such as a pyramid from cardboard scraps (Leif is in an Egyptian phase) and a house out of paper and tape. Hanna mined the recycling closet and made a sign for Elisabet's birthday, a special birthday crown for her to wear, and several other pieces of art.
