She decided that she wanted to take three of her friends swimming to a Water Park in Edinburgh ~ one of these pools that have all manner of slides and waves and rubber rings and waterfalls going on! Followed by a Chinese Buffet Lunch ~ all very grown up! Then it was back home for more charging about the house, lots of girlie screeching and giggling (at very high volumes) and some Happy Birthday cake with candles and lots of presents.
Yesterday it was also our wedding anniversary too ~ we have been married for 9 years! All those years ago we decided that it would be a very lovely idea to get married and have our daughter christened all on her first birthday! A little bit unconventional, but it makes her birthday and our wedding anniversary extra special. We got married in this beautiful little church in the very picturesque village of Dirleton in East Lothian.
I got some very lovely Anniversary presents ~ self portraits were drawn and button bracelets were very carefully threaded up and proudly presented. I also got a beautiful bouquet and a very nice bottle of champagne from my lovely husband. You may also just see that we did manage to find the time to drink it in the evening too!!
We tend not to do too much more to celebrate our anniversary as birthday celebrations are obviously far more important in the minds of small children ~ so our anniversary meal out was the very same Chinese Buffet Lunch where we were accompanied by five lovely children! All very romantic as you can well imagine, but a great time was had by all:O)

Congratulations to all. I know what you mean about the years whizzing by. There are two-and-a-half years between my boys and when we had Tom i remember saying 'When Tom's two-and-a-half, Steven will be five!' We couldn't imagine Steven being as big as five! Now he's 18!!

Happy Anniversary and 10th Birthday to your very lovely daughter!
That self-portrait is adorable, and even more so are those button jewellery :)
Happy anniversary to you and a big happy birthday to your 10 year old. It is coming up to birthday season in our family and I am having a quiet freak out about how quickly time is passing. Your daughter sounds like she had a great day.
Happy Birthday to your daughter and Happy Anniversary to you. Lots of celebrating! My daughter turned 9 last month and I am aware that I must make the most of her as a child before she grows up a fine young lady..
What a beautiful gift from your daughter, such gifts mean so much.
