Léna's Bday Celebration

2 weeks ago on May 12th, Léna got to have a special afternoon to celebrate her 3rd birthday in style since she wasn't in Nice on her real big day.

Léna invited Louise to spend the afternoon.  First Eva stopped by to drop off Louise and help give Léna her gift:  Disney Dancing Cinderella!  She was a hit!
Then we took Léna & Louise (& Estelle!) to see a little marionnette show.
This was exciting and fun!

Afterwards we went to a nice ice cream parlor for some real treats!
This ice cream parlor is also quite well known as a patissier - baked delicacies and pastries.  Thomas got one of his favorites, called a "Religieuse", because it looks like a bishop, or a pope, or something.
YUMMY!  The girls had ice cream.  You can see my treat lower right - tarte à l'orange brulée - like orange cream with a carmalized top.  Incredible. 
And then back home for some costumed piano magic.

What a great way to spend being 3.  Louise is really Léna's only "friend" besides the little girl at her nanny's (who we don't really know socially), and Louise and Léna will start school together in September so this was a nice occasion to spend some time together.

What a lovely little party Lena had to celebrate her 3rd birthday. I remember when Louise was born and was just a wee one at her big sister's birthday picnic.

Can I come over for one of those orange creme cakes? How cute the girls all look together, having treats, or watching the puppet show! Recently I witnessed a crazy b day party at a Restaurant with 24 kids! It was wild, noisy, and certainly not as much fun as Lena had with her best friend and sister Estelle!!
