With her birthday falling on a weekend Milla took a bunch of cupcakes to share with her class at school. She asked me to "make them pretty" but also not to tell her what I was making so they would be a surprise. A mermaid it was!
When she came out of school on Friday afternoon she told me she gave the face part of the cake to the school principal!
We then headed straight to the pet shop. Milla had received some money from Great Nanna Joy a few days earlier in her birthday card. So it, along with some money she had been saving in her money box for a while, was spent on her very own pet. A gold fish! The man at the pet shop was very lovely and gave Milla a great deal when he saw how excited she was to be able to buy an animal of her very own. Milla named her fish Ariel...
In true Milla style it was hard to get her to fall asleep on Friday night with such an exciting event happening on Saturday but eventually she crashed out and we were able to sneak a bunch of helium balloons (added to 'the' number 7 she had been keeping) into her room for her to discover when she woke.
6am we heard Milla wake and chatter away to her fish about what presents she might get now her birthday day had finally arrived. As soon as Harris woke it was present time then special birthday breakfast before a girly day with her best friend getting their nails painted! Safe to say Milla was a breeze to put to bed at the end of the day - such a fun, big day!
