Another Birthday and a Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect
Party Linky #247!


Jessica turned 19 earlier this June! She had a very special birthday. The night before, she slept over by her grandma. The next morning, on her birthday, they went shopping in Cape Town. While they were there, they also bought the custard slices and large cheese cake that you see in the photos.

Later that day, she opened gifts from us. Samantha and Amanda gave Jessica the round lavender colored tin with chocolates inside. We also celebrated the day with a bottle of Graham Beck Brut Rosé that my mother-in-law picked out for the occasion. (The drinking age in South Africa is 18.) She also got birthday money from her grandparents overseas and a package from her great aunt in Johannesburg couriered to our front door!

Yes, my MLT knows how to celebrate. She does everything with a flair. We didn't have to bake a birthday cake either. She had it all covered. ;)
She is gorgeous! Hope she had a great birthday!

Thanks, Teresa! She doesn't believe me when I tell her, but she certainly likes hearing it from someone else, so I'll pass on the compliment. ;)
I loved your story about Gus and your husband's soft spot for German Shepherds. The photos were sweet!
Take care!
Aww what a sweet age. Happy Birthday and the cake looks yummy!

The trilogy books are interesting!

Thanks, Merlinda!
We are just trying to get her through this age. She has a lot of teenage angst, but we've been trying to help her take control of her thoughts and channel her anxious energy with exercise. She's also a perfectionist. She's hit some rough patches, but she is doing better at the moment.
How are you two doing? Sorry about the broken toy. :(
Thanks for linking up and have a blessed week!
Happy Birthday to Jessica! Is she your daughter, Christina? Thanks for sharing about that joyous celebration, as well as offering up some other gems for us! It was nice to meet you too back at my place! Have a great rest of the week, my friend!

Thanks! Yes, Jessica is my oldest daughter and my second child. I have four kids. Both her and her brother are at university. It's her first year and his last. Wishing you a great rest of the week too!
Wishing Jessica a happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday, Jessica! We have a birthday here this week as well - Littlenificent will be seven on Friday! Thanks so much for linking this up at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week!
