We followed tradition and spent what felt like the entire day making a cake. Anja, Sofie, and I baked a chocolate thunder bunny cake for Anja' birthday. The candles were magique and re-lit and sparkled like the fourth of July. Anja was quite pleased with the beaucoup cadeaux. She thought it better than last year's Christmas. Her dad got her a model of the Orianna, a cruise ship he rode from San Francisco to Australia when he was five. They are excited to get started on it. He was very surprised to find it in a model shop in Macon complete with directions in Onglais. She got a book, "Charmed Life" from Caroline and Tom. She is already reading the seventh Harry Potter book for the sixth time, "Wise Child" which I read to her once, "The Book of Three" that my friend Angela gave her and I am reading her Anne Frank's diary to top it all off. We had a really lovely birthday party for her with all of her favorite foods, latkes, noodles, salmon, peas, and nachos. She loves the carbs. We followed it up with the cake and two kinds of sorbet, Raspberry and Mango. Happy Birthday, Anja!!

I feel bad that we only remembered it was The Day when it was too late to phone. But Anja, we have been thinking of you. And there is a present in the mail you should get soon. Love, Boz
I am glad that the day was so nice for Anja. Having nice birthdays is always pretty cool.
