First Full Day of Spring

Today was the first full day of spring, but insead of seeing a robin, we saw more snow. This is the view from our apartment. Notice the 6-foot-high piles of snow on the building across the street.

Here's another view from our apartment. Hopefully spring will really come soon, or we will still have snow when we leave for America!

leavin' on a jet plane!

Peter's 6th Birthday 2.0

Today was Peter's actual 6th birthday, so we had another party! This time it was at our house for his friends regardless of age.

We had a pirate theme again, with yummy cupcakes (although Cadet Aleksei Burunov wondered if the skull and crossbones were a warning that they were really poisoned!).

Before the guests arrived, Peter opened his presents from family.

Christopher sent a box from America, which included the cool inflated plastic.

Among the things Chris sent were a cool college hoodie.

And he loved the Transformer that Elizabeth gave to him.

And he showed his appreciation.

The kitchen was decorated with everything pirate.

And we had lots of yummy food, including Tim's now-famous chili!

Sergeant Anneli Aavik and Sofia Burunova presented gifts to Peter.

He loved them both, including the dinasour from Sofia.

Everyone had a fun time together. At the end of the party, it was time to blow out the candles. Peter made his wish out loud: "I wish I had all the Transformers in the world!" You have lots of friends, and that's almost as good. Happy birthday Peter!
