Lily had a good 4th birthday party on November 11, which is called Remembrance Day here. People (including Daddy) wear poppy pins that are distributed in the weeks before. For her birthday, Abby, Usu, Noah, Isaac, Isabella, and Diego came over–3 friends from her preschool, and some others. Of course all the brothers and sisters were around, and Amelia, in particular, worked hard to get the party ready, drawing and cutting out figures to decorate (including a superman for Diego) and drawing the Unicorn you see here for “Pin the Horn on the Unicorn”.
Do they sing Happy Birthday there as they do here? and make a wish at the candle-blowing? Wonder if they still play a game called “In And Out The Window” as they did 40 years ago – people weave around a circle of other people and there’s a song that goes with the weaving.
Is what we call a sidewalk still called the “pavement” over there? If so, could lead to some mis-communication .
