Max is NINE

January seemed like one big mass of Party after Party and all for MAX - after all you only turn 9 once! A few days before Max's birthday a package arrived from the States and in it, all of the fun things that delight a nine year old boy! A disgusting card, Army men, games and candy. Just enough to begin the birthday season for Max. I say season, because first there was a party with a few special friends in the US, our family party here, Max's actual birthday dinner and bowling, followed up by Max's class party. What a month! But as you can see Max's smile makes it all worth the effort!

Family party with all of our Danske familie! Philip giving Max his special gift, that he had selected on his own for Max!

Max's wonderful teacher Sanne singing the birthday song and Drawing the Birthday Crown on the board. As you can see, Max is suffering! ;) He adores Sanne.

Gifts from USA. Max was obviously very happy to get his birthday mail!



**Soph refused to be photographed she was still miffed that she got some dumb ol make- up guitar... she can't stand it that her birthday is LAST. It is all just too unfair! :) She is definitely a firecracker!
