Happy Birthday to me!

Hi Everyone!
I know that is has been a while since I have written, but I just haven't had time.
About 3 weeks ago I celebrated my 3rd Birthday with a series of Birthday parties.
First, on Saturday I celebrated with my friends. It was so fun and I got a lot of cool presents!

The celebrating continued the following day. Some of my Austrian family came to Graz to have lunch and eat cake with me. Oma and Opa, Kassl Oma, Tante Katharina and Tante Julia and also dad's cousin Raphael and his girlfriend, Gudrun. Again...lots of cool presents! We went to my favorite Restaurant, a mongolian Grill called Cooking Wu. It was yummy!! Then we went back to my house and ate some more of the yummy chocolate cake my mom made for me.

The next day was my actual Birthday. I was then officially 3!!!! I had a little party at preschool and also celebrated with my mom, dad and Nils. I got even more presents and was so happy with all the things I got from my American family. I got a coffee machine from Aunt Betsy and make lots of"coffee" for everyone now. I also got pizza from Eric and Jess...anyone want a slice. Mom prefers it with mushrooms, but dad is all about the pepperoni. ;) You would think that was enough celebrating, but nope! I had one more party last weekend in Eberstein with a few people whol couldn't come to Graz. It was very fun!

Nils is now almost 9 months old! Can you believe it??? I can't! He is growing and can move all over the place. He doesn't really crawl, but scoots...and does something I call the frog. He gets into everything and sometimes I get a little frusterated when he plays with my stuff or puts it in his mouth.

We also celebrated Faschings (Carnival) the day after my Birthday. We are now well into Lent and looking forward to Easter. We are going to England in 2 weeks. Mom, Nils and I are just tagging along while Daddy has a conference to attend. We are very excited!
Hope this finds everyone well!
Love,
Zoe
