For those who wonder, our theme was Russian Fairy Tales. Although Peppi Long Stockings (Siberia) & Zorro (Lenya) are hard to find in Russian Fairy Tales, I’m sure a Ladybug (Jewels) flew through one of the fairy tales at some time :)

All these wonderful relatives insisted on sushi for my birthday. I couldn't resist!

Thanks to everyone and especially Andrusha, for making this birthday so special!
