Because of school, Lara asked that her birthday celebrations be moved to Sunday Jan 10th.
She asked for kuih ketayap for breakfast, which we had, but have no pictures of. After breakfast was opening her gifts.
Gifts ready to be opened.Thank you hugs!Hand-me-down tool belt, which Neil wrapped in his drill box. Should’ve seen her eyes light up when she saw the drill box … filed for Christmas.This girl loves her tools!Replacement overalls (her previous pair went to Felix).Calico Critters are all the rage. Both the Littles love them so I’ve got an alert on kijiji for more.The boogie woogie brother/sister dance.Her tradition of burning her real beeswax candle, from the Owen Sound Farmer’s Market, for the number of minutes that matches her age.She chose wonton mee for lunch. We made the wontons.She’s making her birthday “cake”, an Eton mess.Felix helped prepare the strawberries.She created customized mess bowls for each member of the family. Meringue, whipped cream, strawberry coulis, fresh strawberries, and an assortment of frozen fruits.Dinner request was macaroni goreng (the Malaysians will cringe but it’s her birthday and she didn’t want the long noodles).The Eton mess was supremely scrumptious!
Happy Birthday, Lara!
Eaten Mess!
