Happy 12th Birthday !!!

Maelie is officially 12!! It all started a few days ahead...  we decided to celebrate on the Sunday since Bill was not working. We went out to eat at a buffet place that Maelie enjoys a lot... and then she got a present opening session!

 

She also was quite lucky to receive some cards and money from afar!! Needless to say, money and gift cards are the number 1 present at this age!!

 

Which one do I start with???? Maelie had  blast and was quite spoiled. Now she is ready to go on a shopping spree.

On Monday we went out with Naomie and Sonia for a bday supper. The restaurant brought her a huge piece of delicious cake since it was her bday... her comment to me afterwards? Mom I wish they just brought my normal kids meal ice cream.... hehe needless to say, Sonia and I enjoyed the cake !!

She was so excited! Maelie is like me. Birthdays just make her happy!! I love that!

On her actual birthday morning, I took out the DQ ice cream cake! Yum yum yum! Who doesn't love ice cream cake for breakfast on their birthday?

Maelie was happy as can be!!

TA-DA!!! I am 12!!!

Maelie is growing up into a wonderful girl. She definitely is showing clear signs of teenage years to come, but she is kind hearted, hard working, motivated, loving, generous, smart and beautiful! I could not ask for a better daughter!! she makes all of my days brighter! I love you baby!!
