Anonymous said...: Yeayyyy Ella! 5 years old! I can still remember the exact moment we learnt you were born, it was also a Friday night (for us).

Felix is a very good singer. And not as camera shy as his cousin who can also sing Happy Birthday and Lang Zal Ze Leven perfectly, but refuses to do this on video. So I will send you our best effort, soon... and you can judge who does a better job. The (almost) 2 year old living in tinseltown, or his cousin...; Sat Oct 04, 03:38:00 AM 2008
