Halia turned three on Friday and we had a lovely day together as a family, with Michael returning home from a week away that afternoon. She was old enough to ask for a party this year, so we hosted that today. There was a balloon forest, a clown, chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting (gluten-free and vegan, and absolutely delicious, natch), dancing, giggling, and balloon sword fights.
There are days when the girls are at each others’ throats all day long. And there are days where they are inseparable best of friends. Here’s what they were doing today while waiting for the first party guests to arrive. It might be a bit long for those of us used to 30-second clips, but the whole thing makes me smile.
I didn’t know Michael was filming, or I’d have stopped putting dishes away. No, I wouldn’t, but I’d have been quieter about it. Oh, and it was Jade who put The Four Seasons in the CD player, by the way.
That’s absolutely too cute!!!! I had to hold myself laughing about Halia’s sporadic coy glances in the direction of the camera to make sure the performance was still being recorded.
hallo, Fawny, zwei kleine ballerinas. Wo haben sie nur die Verbeugungen gelernt? Ein schönes video, auch wenn du im Hintergrund das Geschirr spülst.
Hier ist es kalt und nebelig. Igittigitt!! Ich will in warme Regionen.! Emmanuel meinte heute, in Taipei sei es auch kalt. Sie hätten unter 20°. Witzbold. Lasst Euch alle umarmen

Weiss Du, Omi, ich habe absolute keine Ahnung wo sie die Verbeugungen gelernt haben! Ich habe sie dass bestimmt nicht gezeigt.
Wir sollen morgen -29 Grad haben… Ich glaube ich muss meine grosse dicke Jacke endlich rausholen.
My girls are 25 and 21 and they are still either best friends or at each others throats (more commonly).
Ahhh, there’s really nothing in the world like a sister. I can’t wait to have mine here for Christmas later this year!
You just made my day! So adorable. Love their dresses – are they from Nai Nai?
Nope! We have to give Jocelyn credit for those ones! They’re both size 6, but I decided to give them a try, anyway, because I knew Halia would be excited to have such a “twirly dress”. The extra length is just a bonus in her mind!
… 03 ?! I mean … THREE ?!?! Are you serious ?!
However – belated Happy B-Day to Halia !! Glad to hear you all had fun
