Sweet Sixteen

Sixteen years ago this tiny little bundle entered my world and I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Being a Mum is such a wonderful gift and being Mum to Sophie and then Sam, has been the best gift I've ever been given.

I loved putting this photo collage together - although going through boxes of photo's over in storage wasn't too much fun! But wow, how great to look back at a photo taken on each of her '16' birthdays. I was reminded of all the parties and themes and family gatherings and outings to celebrate the special day each year.

Poor girl is currently in the middle of her mock exams so won't be celebrating with friends for another couple of weeks. She had her room done as part of her birthday present during the Summer and ended up with my old i-phone when I recently upgraded, so there weren't many gifts to open today.

I did however want to get her something to keep, to remember her sixteenth and thought these framed quotation prints were a perfect keepsake. 

And of course there was cake!
Wouldn't be a birthday without cake x

Need to 'gear' myself up ready for next year's celebrations,

 as she'll be able to learn how to drive!!!!!
