Cezanne had been asking for a “real” tea party and so after school on Monday Lanelle took her to visit Abby and Aunty Jana where the two little ladies were really spoilt. Lanelle made a Barbie cake and Jana made “tea” and the ladies got to dress up !

The fabulous cake and the tea ladies…

Cezanne had a birthday party around her actual birthday in June but we had promised her a party for all the play group friends and we finally had the party this last week. Here she is blowing out the candles and she seems to be very pleased !

Cezanne was off to a new class - Mrs Spears and Mrs Shelton’s 4 year old class at Kensington. She did well at the meet the teacher date and fell right into playing with the other kids. She and another little boy seemed to be getting along although at times it was hard to tell since he was really just being a boy ! I can not see how in a year from now we just put her on a bus and watch it drive away ???

Cezanne started 4 year old school  with a meet the teacher date. She got to pick a pretty dress to wear rather than a more sensible play dress and seemed a little unsure of what lay ahead. We did remember to take a few photos at least this time around

We rented a “beach house” for a few days down in Florida near Tampa. The area is called Anna Maria Island and our “beach house” was in Holmes Beach. It was beautiful and very fancy and Cezanne and Etienne each had their own rooms. Cezanne’s room had 4 bunk beds ( or as she called them, bump up beds ) and there was even a little TV & DVD in her room. Cezanne was in heaven. The best part though was the pool which was warm and wonderful. Cezanne and I swam everyday after breakfast until lunch time. In the afternoons we headed to the beach which was also a lot of fun because the beach has sand and shells ! All in all a most excellent vacation !!
