Amber's School Party

It was the day long awaited, the one where there would be some friends!

Amber was so thrilled to be able to share the occasion and felt very special. Teacher Hanka, the girls private teacher made the day quite special and Amber enjoyed it.
This is the second of the heart cakes, made for the day and this one has an angel as the decoration. The angels face is a cute face we found on a sucker and stuck onto the cake... "how to improvise" by the Woods

Huff and puff and I blow out all the candles after requesting assistance on what to wish for :)
Teacher Hanka is the one helping Amber cut the cake - this one had all the required ingredients and so didn't need a lumber jack to get it into pieces.
The classmates all settle down to tuck in... the cake didn't last long - I was lucky to be able to bring home a small slice for Hayley to taste!
*Sigh* don't they grow up so fast?
The guy on the right is Matthew, the first male pre-school teacher I've ever heard of. He's American, don't think he can speak a word of Czech and is the assistant teacher for the class. Still, from what I've seen he's very good with the kids.
Hanka set up a game of "Pin the tail on the donkey" - Amber got to go first, we had to sensor where she pinned the tail tho, so unfortunately you are going to have to settle for the idea that she was close...
Sarah's turn... did you know that if you lift your head high enough you can see the donkey through the tiny slit at the bottom of the blindfold? Saz had it worked out in a second and won a prize for the closest tail (tie)

Although the day went well and all the kids had loads of fun, this was a very different birthday for our oldest princess - there is just no comparison with the stuff we used to experience back home. In a way I feel sorry for her because its not so grand, and at this age grand for birthdays is very important. But maybe something a little more simple is not so bad and is grand in a different way.
Anyway, time will tell all of these things and I shall be eagerly watching to see what it says.
