My neice Manon turned four a few weeks ago. This past Sunday, we went to their new house in Toulon to celebrate. It is the entire upper floor of an old house, two bedrooms. Although they want to do some renovations, such as making the attic liveable, their place is pretty much where ours is not. They have painted walls, and a bathroom, and kitchen and everything!
Manon had a fruity cake, then opened her presents. She got a pair of skates from us. She also received from her parents a few weeks ago a bike. She is quite an active child. We left around 8 and drove back to Marseille on the toll road. French love tollroads!
Happy Birthday Manon!
