A certain young lass, celebrated her 12th birthday, yesterday! She got to select her own cake from the Cheesecake shop (Cookies & Cream torte...shhh) and it was delissimo! She received a Manga comic book and Bobble-head figure, from one of her favourite Anime series (at least I think its Anime) from us.
At one point, both our kids were sitting on the couch reading their favourite books, and we had to pinch ourselves. Two readers! Ten years apart and still able to share something special.
The whole day was incredibly special, in fact. We immersed ourselves in family time (a rarity) even grabbing an afternoon stroll between lunch and cake!
Our little man's birthday, is just a few weeks away now. Our two treasures, both born in May.
Happy Birthday to your girl and well done for putting aside the time to enjoy it! Twelve year olds are so wonderful to have around. I love my girl's company.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely age and I'm sure your glad for your daughter's company, as she seems like such a helper with the animals.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Sarah! The cake looks marvelous too!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI can testify, the cake was indeed marvellous, lol. I did break my diet but fully intended to for one slice of birthday cake. In the past I would have gone back for more. But it felt like such a treat, and more enjoyable, because I don't eat like this every day.
I would not stop at one slice. I don't have any self control when it comes to cakes like this. Willpower out the window.
DeleteI know. Its hard. ;)
DeleteThe very happiest of birthdays to both your children. Letting them select their own birthday cake is a real treat. And good for you for only eating one slice! Good sweets are hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh. The nicer the sweets, the harder they are to resist. Which is why I like to avoid them coming in the house, most of the time. Birthday's are an exception though. ;)
DeleteTeen years are so rewarding. We have 5 daughters and love the teen years.
ReplyDeleteHi Phil, nice to meet you. It sounds like you have a whole chest full of treasures there! Thanks for dropping by. Its good to read nice things about teens. :)
