birthday cake

koharu was born on October 28, 1999.

She will be 10 years old on Wednesday.

Today we celebrated her birthday.

On Wednesday koharu's friends are going to celebrate
her birthday after school.

That's why we had a party for her today.

When I came to live in Tokyo, koharu was only
a 6-month-old baby.

Her brother was 6 years old then.

Now koharu is an elementary school girl,
and her brother is a high school boy!

It is only natural for me to feel I'm getting old.

koharu's mother made a chocolate birthday cake
for koharu.

koharu was excited and said,

"This birthday cake is full of love.

Oh, thank you. I am so happy!"
