Anywhere you go let me go too

Minnie celebrated her 13th Birthday on December 11th...:) I still can't believe that my little baby has grown up so fast and is now a teenager...:) Yes, time does fly indeed!!!:P

Anyway, her birthday was on Friday this year, so she was at school until noon. Of course, she had brought two huge boxes of chocolates as a treat for her classmates and teachers...:) As soon as Minnie finished school, the celebrations started!!!:) My parents had invited us for lunch, so we enjoyed delicious food /barbeque and home-made cake/.:)

At 5 p.m. started the real party for Minnie's birthday!!!:) It took place at the Excaliur Castle /a great entertainment centre with carting, bowling, billiards and other fun games plus a bar and a room for smaller kids - it's Minnie's third time celebrating a birthday there:)/!!!:) My daughter had invited 9 kids from her class /her best friends/, but only 8 of them /two boys and six girls/ were able to come... First the kids played bowling, then they had a snack /pizza, French fries, chocolate eggs, cake and some drinks/ and afterwards they played some more games...:) All the kids had a wonderful time there!!!:) Vlado and I enjoyed a few drinks and a chat during the party, so we had a nice time too /we were sitting at a separate table as we didn't want to bother the teens:)/.

When the party finished /at about 8 p.m./ we went to my parents' home to pick up Vanyo /they took care of him during the party/. Then the four of us went to the mall where we had dinner at KFC!!!:)

Minnie continued celebrating the following day as well - my MIL visited us for lunch and once again we enjoyed delicious food /including a cake/ and a nice chat!!!:)

Needless to say, Minnie got some lovely presents for her birthday!!!:) She got books, cosmetics, clothing items and souvenirs from her classmates, 'sleeves' /a clothing item which is very fashionable at the moment, she is wearing it on the picture/ from my parents, a black dress from my sister and her family, a golden ring with a purple stone from my mother-in-law, and a light blue top, some underwear and a hairbrush /she had chosen them herself/ from her father, brother and me...:) Minnie loved all the presents she got!!!:)

Unfortunately not everything which has happened here lately has been as nice as Minnie's birthday...:( In the evening of December 4th Vanyo got ill - he had high temperature and no other symptoms...:( His GP said it was a virus and would go away without any antibiotics... And indeed Vanyo was starting to feel much better in a couple of days... Until in the morning of December 9th /Wednesday/ when he complained of ear pain and his temperature got even higher than before... The specialist we went to said that Vanyo had to be operated right away... You can imagine what a shock it had been for us...:( Luckily my hubby decided to consult another specialist and he advised us to try to heal Vanyo's ears with antibiotics first and go for an operation only if the treatment is unsuccessful... In a couple of days my son felt much better, so I hope he won't need any operation after all ... We're going to the second specialist tomorrow, so fingers crossed for my son!!!:)

Current Mood: hopeful
Current Music: buzzing of the heater
