It's a mixed emotion day here today.
Hard to believe that someone is turning 12 when it seems like just yesterday we were holding her for the first time. Sniff.
Em is definitely growing to fast for my liking. :)
We celebrated yesterday so that we could have a entire, quiet day with Dad.
Birthday dinner was made.
Chicken Parmesan, ranchy noodles and peas.
Don't know how that ever got to be everyones favorite birthday meal.
I'm not complaining. At least it is well liked.
Then afterwards there was yummy purple swirled cheesecake
with yummy, juicy strawberries on top.
The birthday girl was quite pleased with how it turned out. Especially with the swirl going all through the cheesecake.
I might have to take another taste today just to make sure it's still good for everyone else.
It's the least I could do. :)
Off to spend more time with the birthday girl today. It's a free for all day after lessons.
