So anyway Thursday finally came, which was Cheyennes actual birthday. Felt like she had week long celebrations this time round with a party on Saturday, a day off on Wednesday, my goodness I never got that much recognition with any birthday. She is worth it though :-) and to be honest I actually enjoy having folk round our place, so the more the merrier.
Got stuck in and made another cake for our birthday girl, a lemon meringue pie and tiramisu cake were on the desert menu as well. Like all birthdays in our family, they get to choose what we all eat for tea. Cheyenne wanted wraps so that was easy. (there was one year that she requested vegemite and pastry!!!) I added paua patties to the menu for those of our guests that aren't used to wraps ;-)
We had her Grandad (Shanes dad), Banny (my mum) and the Polo's ( Shanes best mate and family) join us for tea.
The phone rang for her the moment she walked in the door. She got calls from cousins on both sides of the family in the nth island, a long distance one from her Bandad in the States, then there were the Aunties that rang to talk to her.
In the mean time the distingushed guests arrived,
The two very best boys in her life, one lucky girl having these boys to grow up with I would think.
He brother is trying to kiss her.
Both Luke and Max chose a present each for her, when asked for thank you kisses when she had opened them, she refused saying "No, Banny told me to save all my kisses for her"
A perfect little stash of gifts.
A very spoilt little paper bag princess x
Off to school as a big 7 yr old now.
Can't believe she is now 7, in 10 years she will be leaving home (if not before!!)
I hope I am blessed with another 10 years with her at least.
