The deer-princess and hearts are two of our favourite things (think Bambi) and the wool so soft and cosy. Its a Princess Lillifee [http://www.prinzessinlillifee.de/en/] product, we love it!

It was a very "special occasion tea party" - The pretty Lexi celebrated her 6th birthday with us. She says the best thing about a birthday is having friends and yummy cake, she sums it up as a lovely friendly day.

"Turning 6 is great as you are getting bigger and you are standing taller, closer to the size of a grown up."  She likes chocolate and vanilla mixed cake, but it must have sprinkles, and your tea must be sweet. Lexi also likes the colour red, because its nice for lipstick and her favourite vegetable is broccoli with butter (We think thats very grown up!)

She loves her grandpa because he makes her laugh. She has 4 pets: "Sinatra is a Siamese. He jumps a lot. Friday is a chocolate Burmese. She is friends with Sinatra.

Knock knock
Who's there?
Lexi
Lexi who?
Let's see whose on the other side.  (This is Lexi's own joke)

We really love birthday tea parties and we are sure you can tell from the pictures that these pretty girls had a fabulous time.

Here are some of our favourite parts in the book: "I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my dinner," said Jeremy Fisher. "If I catch more than five fish, I will invite my friends mr Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. The Alderman, however, eats salad."........." Mr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and the bubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swam with all his might to the edge of the pond. ........ "And instead of a nice dish of minnows- they had a roasted grasshopper with lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but I think it must have been nasty! "

There was a prince who wanted to marry a real princess. There were plenty princesses, but it was hard to know whether they were real princesses. The prince went all over the world looking for a true princess. But there was always something the matter with them. So the prince had to return home without having found a real princess. Then, one night, there was a terrible storm. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared and the rain poured down. In the middle of the storm there was a knock at the door of the castle and the old king went to open it. There, standing outside, was a princess, but it was hard to tell. The rain ran down her face and her hair, her dress was drenched and her gold shoes were completely sodden and muddy. She said that she was a real princess, looking for shelter from the rain. "We will see about that!" thought the old queen. "We can easily find out whether she's telling the truth." She went into a bedroom and placed a small pea under the mattress of the bed. Then she laid 7 thick mattresses on top, and there the princess should sleep for the night.

According to Kayla, she loved dressing up in clothes that were not too girly! She liked the popcorn the most, especially when her and Josh got to throw it at each other and make a huge mess and did not have to clean it up! She said it was fun that they got to act crazy. Her favourite picture of all was the skittles and how we“magicked” the third skittle into the photo. She LOVES that one. The sad clown photo makes her laugh because she was not sad at all when the picture was taken, just acting. She thinks the pilot one would also be cool, and wants to know when she can come and play again.
