On being 11...

On Thursday (15th), our Alexandra has been a part of our family for 11 years - how the time has flown!!

She brings a unique aspect to our family. She makes us laugh aloud, but also asks challenging, thoughtful questions and is not afraid to speak her mind.


She celebrated a week before her birthday (cause it was just taking too long to come!) She invited 2 friends for a sleepover - nail varnishing and a DVD - and then ten pin bowling in the morning.

Sarah and Alexandra baked and iced the cake themselves - including making the fondant flowers

Our bowling shoes

On Thursday, we gave the books a skip and spent time as a family ice skating (an open air rink at Cribbs Causeway Mall). Her choice of a meal was roast chicken with fish shop chips. And we watched a movie again in the evening.

On Friday, Gary and the girls went for a walk, and Alexandra just had to take her camera - her birthday gift - to start capturing everything she could!

We had such a super day, celebrating her life and giving our Lord thanks and honour for the person she is. We love you, Alli-K :)
