Her New Decade
At midnight she moved into the next decade of her life. She reached the new benchmark of thirty and we are celebrating. Buddy loves his sister so he made sure she got a lovely card, a plant and beautiful cake too. I had to take him shopping after he had his ear checkup yesterday. We were ready when the clock struck 12am. It's a family tradition to open cards,a gift and have some cake at that time. Buddy selected a cake with three roses, one for each decade and picked orange because it's a fall colour. What an October birthday cake choice!
Before midnight we all went out to eat dinner at the Mandarin buffet restaurant where she was given their traditional birthday treat. They top this off with a hat, cake with candle, the singing of the song and a photo taken while this happens. It's placed in a magnet as a gift, a momento of the occasion to be taken home.
Happy Birthday Sweetie!

ReplyDeleteNice pictures! And happy happy birthday to the lovely girl who is no longer in her twenties! It sure seems young to me these days. I remember my thirtieth birthday and I didn't have a cake like this one! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, what a lovely cake Buddy picked out for his sister. Abe and I also have birthdays this month.
ReplyDeleteAs for the recipe I posted, no I have not tried it yet, but everything that goes into it sounds good, so the casserole should be great.
Thanks for the compliment about my blog, was playing around, trying to find something that didn't take much work and looked like Fall. Found something for Halloween, but couldn't get it to work on my blog. So went with the brightly colored leaves.
What a fun birthday tradition!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time was had by all. Great looking cake...I'm getting so hungry...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely birthday girl! Another decade - wow - where does the time go????
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks yummy. I love orange roses and think Buddy made a good choice. I hope his ear exam was okay.
Happy Birthday! And many many more.
Dear Heidrun, what a lovely tradition and how thoughtful of Buddy to choose the colors for the cake and to do all this for his sister. Peace.
