Celebrating a birthday

When you're 12 and thinking about celebrating a birthday, there are a few requests.  The first is to have a special meal out.  Then of course it's important to have some friends over.  When asked about what she'd like to do with these friends, the response was to just 'hang out'.  No more pass the parcel, treasure hunts, pin the tail on the donkey or crafts for our parties.


The day started with looking at the presents.... and being excited about getting a beanbag chair!

Then it was off for a dim sum buffet.  This is definitely a place that will be a favorite for special occasions.
It just doesn't get better than this.
Then it was time for presents.
This cake was made by a colleague at school.  As you can see, it was gorgeous and inside it was even better..... chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
A few friends came over for a sleepover party.
