2 Birthdays and More with a Linky


It was Amanda's 12th birthday on Friday and today it's my birthday! We made Amanda a special breakfast before school. The kids at her school don't have to wear the school uniform when it's their birthday, so I took photos of the outfit that she wore. We also gave her two gifts from us, a set of wireless headphones and a Mush Slime ticket for a slime making workshop near Cape Town. She knows of two friends who are also going, so she'll see them there. Of course, she's very excited about it. We plan to meet up with her big brother after the workshop.

Robbie and Amanda made me a nice breakfast this morning and Amanda made an elaborate birthday card for me. I took close-up photos, so you can see what she wrote. She said the nicest things. I'm so glad to be her mother! I thought the "No Mothers" allowed in the library was hilarious. Of course, I got a few gifts too!

Happy birthday to both of you! You all look lovely in the pics. I like her sense of humor. Just one more year to enter the teenage yay!

Thank you! I think when she hits the teen years, I’ll need to keep a big stick nearby to chase the boys away. 😄
I loved your flamingo photos and the morning light was just perfect! Thanks for linking up and wishing you a great week!
Happy blessed birthday to both of you. Sorry I am so late. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

Thank you so much, Patrick! I always enjoy seeing your photos. That’s quite an impressive church, especially the bell tower. The random vases were also fun and quirky. It certainly looks like a fabulous city for photography.
Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you BOTH! I can't say enough about the cards. I actually got choked up, they're so beautiful and thoughtful <3 I just love the way you guys celebrate things. It feels magazine-worthy, but all heart and home <3 And that pic of Amanda with the cat by the purple flowers and greenest of green grass---just gorgeous!

Awww! Thank you so much, Donna! I shared your wishes and sweet words about the cards with Amanda. She also said, “Awww.” The other things you wrote were also super sweet. They encourage me so much and brighten my day. Wishing you a super blessed Sunday!
Oh my goodness, Amanda is just the cutest thing! What a sweet young girl. You did good, momma! I am loving her cute little pink outfit, too. Again...happy birthday to you both! Thanks for linking up with me.
