...the gorgeous big ol' sun has at last given us a few consistent days of warmth...& i now have a terrible, 'i am seriously feeling sorry for myself'...headcold...how does this work out? this was so not my plan...
...i am meant to be cruising into the real start of spring all carefree & well....springy!!!
...so today i am going to focus on something other than my headiness...to make me feel better...
...miss.ella's 12 th birthday...
...my baby is now 12...& i know alot of you have much bigger almost real teenager sized kids- but for us she's the biggest we got & we wouldn't change a little tiny bit of her for the world...ok maybe the semi-vague way she eats,...or doesn't eat, her cereal in the morning... we'd change that a bit...but that's it!!...
...as the most mermaid & salty of our kids- i went into labour with her whilst swimming laps & she was almost born in the birthing centre bath- she has done so well to turn 12 with an absolute lack of saltwater in her gorgeous blonde hair & sand between her toes...
...in fact she turned 12 in an almost ella in wonderland way...
...we had union jacks galore- in homage to her second home...
...silver iced cupcakes...& x-factor good karaoke under apple red fairy lights...
...drink me bottles of fizzy magic, disco balls & dancing....
... funny looking bulbs & flowers...
...& ella rose spring bags of sweets, lollies & asian fortune telling wish fish...
...not sure who loved it the most...the girls or the village?
...it's hard to ignore karaoke, a full tramoline of tricks, laughter...& screaming {!!} & a garden of glittering gals...
...so the sand inside the bikini will have to wait till we sneak back to greece in june..but this was most definately a wonderful way to turn 12...
...oh & just one more thing about the weather...it shone on her all day! & so it should have!
...happy birthday ella rose...
