Children's school party

Last week-end the kids' school organized a children's party. They do this every year- the teacher's cook for the kids, organize games & competitions, puppet theater for the youngest. This time they made pizza, cakes, buns. At the end they have a little treasure hunt for a sweets bag.




Victor & Patrick drawing on the table cloth while they wait for food.. that was a cute idea to keep them busy.
