Themed birthday parties are popular here in Germany. In honor of making my Berlin orchestral debut, I chose Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake as this year's theme.

It was a fun challenge to make all of my hors d'oeuvres and activities fit Swan Lake. Making the weather cooperate was also difficult, so my birthday had two "acts" – Taco Tuesday and the actual party. 

Since a great number of you live on the other side of the ocean and couldn't make it to the party, here's a short video slideshow to take you to Swan Lake.
