Today we celebrated Daisy's eleventh birthday.
First, I called the midwife who delivered her to thank her (yet) again. Good job, Maureen!
Then I made miniature strawberry Pavlovas, and a flourless chocolate cake, and a lot of tiny ham sandwiches
Then Daisy had a gaggle of girls over to swim in the pool, and after dinner we had cake and presents. She got two gift cards to use at the feed store, a book about chickens, and a book about Gilbert and Sullivan. And some sealing wax.
And that's how you turn eleven.
Happy birthday Daisy!
ReplyDeleteA belated happy birthday Daisy, I think eleven was one of my favourite ages. I would love to se an American feed store one day.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful photos with a story for a beautiful birthday. First off, pool side looks so relaxing; you had a Midwife? how exciting!, next: is that Clara bringing in the cake? lovely dress; and of course Daisy received a gift card to the Feed Store, how appropriate! Thank you so much for sharing, you always give us "food for thought" and how to re-think our celebrations.

Daisy--happy birthday to you!! Eleven is a great age!
ReplyDeleteI love feed stores. Enjoy spending that $$!
Happy birthday, Daisy! (MD)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Daisy! Anna, when I started reading your blog Daisy was THREE. So you've been blessing my daily internet-time for 8 years now! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Daisy! Clara's is this week, if I'm not mistaken. Happy Birthday to her as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday a little late Daisy. I'm not sure what a feed store stocks other than, um, feed, but I'm sure you'll spend wisely. I do believe I asked for sealing wax when I was eleven. I wanted to be Victorian. I also made a quill pen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Daisy! So sweet to watch you growing up. I think you and my Cora would make a pair. She's 12 and reading all there is about goats and loves sealing wax, too. So sorry to hear you lost your mama goat.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Daisy! It's all so delightful. Love the birthday gifts.
