Happy birthday daddy!

今天是爸爸的生日！爸爸早上和姐姐滑完冰回到家，安娜就大声地说"哈皮波斯呆”，然后又亲了爸爸好几大口。她还给爸爸做了个生日卡。今年给爸爸的生日礼物是我们全家今天去新西兰旅游。小安娜等不及了，昨天就在她的小书包里装上各种小吃和玩具，到飞机上吃。中午爸爸吃了最喜欢的大龙虾。

Today is daddy's birthday! When daddy returned home from Leah's ice skating practice this morning, Anna said"Happy

birthday daddy" followed by a big kiss. For daddy's birthday, we are going to New Zealand. Anna got so excited, she started packing her snacks and toys for the airplane ride. Daddy had his favorite lobster dish for lunch.
