day two hundred and fifty-nine | 2011

Happy Birthday to our zany Xani! 11 years ago, today, we welcomed a little blonde whirlwind (something akin to Warner Brothers Tassie Devil) into our lives, and things have never been the same! Love you Xanthia! ♥♥♥

First there were presents, of course!

(the much wanted; hinted about; begged for; and sucked up for iPod Touch!)

… then big sisters and birthday punches… really painful birthday punches!!

… then MORE presents (this time from Grandma and Grandpa Bingley)

… and then, finally, cake! Xan wanted a cake with profiteroles on it, but we couldn't buy one like that in out dodgy little town… so we improvised!! Chocolate mud cake + a packet of profiteroles = Xan's dream cake!
