Our lovely Eleanor has just had her 4th birthday. The self titled "Queenus of the Minus" knew that it was her special day and that we would do (almost) anything for her. And boy, did she milk it!

This year, she had a birthday party with some of her little friends from nursery school. Dressed as the princess that she is, she had a wonderful day with all her little princess and superhero friends.

The next day she was quite tired. She told me that the Queenus of the Minus was so tired that she had to retire to her castle for a rest.

For a birthday treat, we are also going to take her to high tea soon. She asked if we would take her to the Ritz for tea - but we said no! We'll take her somewhere a little more modest I think.
