Happy Birthday My Beautiful Daughter

My Baby turns 17 today. Just want to wish you a wonderful Birthday Chloe - I know today didn't quite turn out like your usual birthday, but I still hope you had a wonderful time and that you know just how precious and just how loved you are. We missed you being home to celebrate it with us this morning. Chloe is a Form Senior this year and had to go away with her Year 8 class on their Form camp which was held over the last couple of days. This means she wasn't home this morning to open her presents with us and then she wasn't at school today to celebrate it with her school friends. Tonight she and her friend Grace were having a girls nights sleep over party at our place to celebrate both their 17th and 20th Birthday party, but Steve has come down with the flu again this week and on top of that has also got infected sinuses , and has spent the week in bed again, so it all had to be changed at the last minute, and we just ended up going over to church for a BBQ dinner. (Not quite the same as a sleep over - and even more disappointing since Chloe had taken the day off work to continue her celebrations. In fact lots of things have been canned this weekend - the progressive dinner has had to be relocated also (although I am still going to be doing the desert.)

Still the girls had fun - I thought I would share a few photos from the night. They had a fancy dress and had to come as someone starting with the first letter of their names. Chloe ended up going as a COP. It was easy, I got to raid the dress up box at school. We had cowgirls, and gypsies, glamour chicks, and goldilocks, and also Curious George. Didn't get as many photos as I would have liked as my batteries were going flat. Anyway Chloe just wanted to wish you a wonderful birthday and let you know how much we love you and how blessed we feel being your parents. Can't thank God enough for blessing me with such wonderful

wonderful

kids.
