Thirteen

Yesterday Miss M turned 13!

My baby girl!!!

So it has been a busy weekend, filled with girly celebrations.

 

Friday evening Miss M and 3 of her girlies went ice skating. Afterwards we brought them back home for pizza and cake.

I made a marble cake, but then totally ran out of time so had to turn the decorating over to Miss M. Which she loved obviously! So the marble cake turned into a chocolatey chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and chocolate decorations, mmmmmmm!

 

 

They destroyed it in record time!!

 

I thought at 13 the girls were probably a bit big for party bags, so I made a few pencil cases/make-up bags and filled them with sweets. They were a big hit!

 

 

Saturday evening there were lots of presents and a lovely family meal at our local Indian restaurant, Miss M's favourite :)

 

Sunday I got myself back into the kitchen for some more baking. Miss M was banned as this was to be a surprise cake. It did take me pretty much the whole day! Once it was finished and iced Miss M was allowed to see.

 

We took the cake with us to our friends for our annual fireworks gathering.

 

Miss M had a little accident whilst helping with the younger children and managed bash into the handle of the buggy and split her lip on her teeth. Poor birthday girl! She was a bit sad for a while but the cutting of the cake cheered her up!!

 

I think it turned out ok!

 
Miss M has gone back to school today, complete with a sore lip :(
I'm catching up with some crochet today! Hopefully a ta-dah post will follow later this week!
