Thirteen here we come...



Well, it's official...I now have two teenagers. How can this happen? My tiny babies are growing up so fast; I feel like I blink and ten years fly by. Since it was a day at home for Kerry the birthday festivities were spread throughout the day. I got up early and made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then the birthday girl opened a couple select presents -- a new t-shirt from us and an adorable vest (with a FURRY hood!) from Grandma and Granpda which made getting dressed much easier. Dinner was a repeat of last years menu - a Waitrose recipe for Barbecued Thai-Style Chicken with sweet chilli sauce and coconut rice. I made a chocolate ganache cake that turned out SO gorgeous (if I do say so myself!). When the rest of the presents were opened, the grand finale was a locket from here . That has been on her wish list for months and months, so from the look on her face I'd say it was a great surprise. All in all, it was one of those days that you look back on and they make you smile. Happy days.
