Vika's sixth birthday was March 14 but we started the celebration on Saturday March 12 with her first time ice skating.
She was so excited to be an ice skater.
It only took a few times around the rink with Gavin and then she was ready to try on her own hanging onto the side. She was brave a few times and let go of the side to get around other people but mostly stuck to the side for the rest of the time.
After skating we went out to dinner to Ex-ta-sea. Yes, that is the name of the restaurant. It is in the ship near our house and has the best Western food in Shekou. These are little mini burgers that are the perfect size for Vika.
The Galicia's gave Vike this dancing donkey that was hilarious. Vika couldn't stop playing with it.
The restaurant has pool tables which Vika had fun playing with the chalk. Can you tell? She was covered with chalk from head to toe.
It wouldn't be a party with Blair. Yes, the restaurant is also a bar so Vika can say that her parents took her to her first bar when she was 6. We are such bad parents but we don't have much of a choice here.
On Monday, her real birthday, I was able to take cupcakes to her classroom to share with her class.
That evening Gavin and I took Vika to have her first hair wash. She was quite the princess and was very pampered.
It's not only a hair wash but a body massage. I'm really going to miss these when we leave.
After the hair wash they blow dry your hair.
Here she is.....the little princess after her spa treatment.
We then went home for cake and presents.
The happy little birthday girl with her "real" Barbie. She has gotten so many fake barbies here that it was a real treat to get a "real" one.
