Yesterday we celebrated our
little Princess turning seven!
Our morning started as it always
does in our house on birthdays... everyone piles into our bed (and yes, the
pets are there too) and each person shares something that they love about the
birthday person. Sometimes such
thoughtful things are said... and other times, well, lets just say we hurry them along when awkward
moments are focussed on, like – “but I don’t like it when we fight all the time”. After that, we all pray for them, and then
it’s time to open the birthday presents!!
There were some very special
friends invited home for a little birthday party after school, with lots of fun
games played. My favourite would have to
be “Pin the tail on Boo”. Big thanks to my awesome guy for his amazing drawing skills.
We ate birthday cake, cupcakes
and lots of other delicious treats. Yes,
check out that very exciting birthday cake in the top photo... more on that
tomorrow.
Before home time, the girls
enjoyed some cupcake decorating fun (a couple of adults may have been tempted
to get involved too).
Tonnes of fun was had,
celebrating our very precious little girl, who is growing into a beautiful
young lady.
