Tünde's 1st Birthday

On Sunday, a few people came around so that we could celebrate Tünde's 1st birthday.  I can't believe that my beautiful goddaughter is already one year old.

Katka and Natalie

Godmother Natalie even made in over from London for the occasion.  There was no way she was going to miss this.


Claudia found a candle that was more like a firecracker.  Tünde liked it.  I thought it would set my kitchen on fire but as long as the birthday girl is happy then it's all good.


Like any child, getting presents seemed to be her favorite part of the day.  And she got lots of toys and books to keep her good and spoiled.

Dolls from St. Petersburg

She seemed to enjoy the Russian nesting dolls I brought back for her from our recent holiday.  Of course at that age, most of the time kids enjoy just playing with the wrapping paper.

It was a really nice afternoon.  It's always fun to get together with good friends but it's even better when you can get together to celebrate something special.
