I want to thank my people for a wonderful birthday...

Were the words that came from Lucy's mouth around half an hour ago as she blew out the candles on her 'donut' cake. Such a lovely family day today. Lucy loved her presents including her surprise Fitbit. I always marvel at how grateful for gifts she always is; she is so gracious, polite and always smiling with real emotion. She deserves an amazing birthday in these strange and hard times. She hasn't grumbled this year, even with everything that is going on. We may be going straight to parental hell though as we allowed her to get her nose pierced (I am not sure Grandma would approve! 😝). I think its great she is expressing herself and she is very clear about doing this through her piercings. I have seen confidence oozing out of her today, she loved her morning shopping with Amy, Pizza express lunch (had my first pizza out!!) and her 'pre chosen swag. I have many photos of my eldest girl today, which is very rare indeed. Even more rare to get her consent! We did get the metaphorical list this year again! I am so proud of her today, she's becoming a woman and a very lovely one as well. The best part of today for me was time at lunch, just the four of us, chatting and enjoying each others company as a family. One birthday down, one to go!! Happy birthday Looby Chick. Mum and Dad love you with all their hearts xx
