Sweet 16



Yes time does fly as we all know it is just that sometimes it really hits us just how fast it's flying by. Really it was no time at all that she was a precious babe in my arms and I was feeling so ecstatic at having a beautiful baby girl. I couldn't take my eyes off her nor the smile off my face. She has grown into a lovely person with a strong character and a determination to make her life count, to use it in someway to help others. We are so proud of her.
Pass the parcel was played for the little ones. I love the way the older children include and involve the younger children in their activities, for this birthday funny face biscuits were made and hide and seek played. Still there was time for big kids games while the little ones slept.
Part of our birthday banner which was made for the last birthday and will now be used for each one. I guess it will stay up for the next 3 weeks as we work our way through a little winter birthday season. Somehow we forgot to have the mulled wine and didn't get around to the New York Cheese cake she had chosen as a birthday cake. Thankfully they keep. We decided not to embarrass her by giving her our traditional birthday blessings in front of her friends. That too can wait, she won't miss out. And with some sick ones in the house we couldn't stick to the plans we had to visit the chocolate factory. We hope to make it on the weekend when all of the family should be able to make it including big brother who's birthday is the following week, we'll make it a double celebration.
