Princess Josephine's birthday party

The pictures are all a bit back to front - so they arrived full of energy and after much running around and sprinting, they did kind of cool down at the end (the first photos here).
A big thank you to Amy for getting me up and running again with my photo upload! Thanks a million! Here are some for good measure and memories! :-)

Our Japanese boys: Perry, Ion and Kenji




Ion - he has a gentle heart and spirit. Still full of energy and fun though!!!




Isn't he just so cute!?!? Kenji was one of the older boys (nearly 6)




Lina - cute dimples!




Buddies: Ion and Kenji




Victoria, Nina and Nikola playing "Doctor doctor" in Evie's bedroom.








Princess: sliced 'n diced. The kids just gawked at the massacre. No one ate a bite! They just wanted to see it cut! At first Josephine wouldn't allow it, but after about an hour curiosity also killed her cat and she had to see how that doll had gotten in there.





I loved the way the children GAVE Josephine her gifts. They quite literally gathered around and adorned her with jewels, hairclips, you name it. It was so sweet. Even the boys did it!! Wow!!



Beautiful Nina putting clip on earrings on Josephine. So loving.




Here, all the kids gathered around like real comrades to GIVE her THEIR gifts. They were so happy for her.



Evie in full swing too!!! So nice to have her trying hard to be part of everything!





Princesses burning energy too!

Aren't these boys too cute!?! Josephine really LOVES them! Ion and Kenji.
