Födelsedagskalas

I söndags var vi bjudna på födelsedagskalas hos Kea o Patten. Ellen fyllde nio år i förra veckan och Joas fyller två nästa vecka, så de hade gemensamt kalas.

On Sunday we were invited on Ellen's and Joas' birthday party. Ellen turned 9 last week and Joas will be 2 in a week, so they combined their parties.

Joas förstod nog inte helt vad det var frågan om, men tyckte iaf att det var trevligt att få öppna paket.
