Our Big’un is turning 12!

Yup, one more sleep and she is twelve.  What have we got planned?  Well, tomorrow is pretty much a regular school day. Chocolate croissants, fruit and bacon will be her special breakfast while lunch is a surprise of sweet and sour chicken. Of course she still skates, but she has some cupcakes to share at skating (nut free of course).  Then her choice for dinner – fish sticks (now that is a gift to mom) followed by homework while her sister is at Sparks.  After that it will be time for dessert and gifts.  Lots of small special moments instead of big things.

That said, don’t feel sorry for her.  Missy K has already begun to celebrate her birthday.  You see, she shares her birthday month with her Grandmother so the day of the finale we did a dinner out followed by gifts and cake at our house.  This cake is both my mom and Katrine’s favourite – traditional chinese fruit cake, which is acutally white sponge with fruit/melon between the layers, covered in cream.  Katrine received a book and the pair of Mickey Ears that she was not able to find when we were at Disney last year.

12 – Time goes by so fast.  Hopefully it will be a wonderful day for her.
