Rowan's birthday was fairly quiet this year, just peaceful and lovely. We took the long walk up the hill to Sainsbury's cafe, because that was all Rowan wanted to do.
She got her requested chocolate cake with strawberries, and birthday tea was chicken pancakes followed by apple pie (she is an odd little duckling, but she was delighted to find that the requested tea duly appeared)!
Apple pie carefully and lovingly made by Jenna. It was the perfect apple pie in every way.
Mostly, Rowan spent the day having baths and playing Octonauts (mostly both at once). :)
And now she's four. I know it's a clique, but it only feels like yesterday that I birthed her...
Oh my ... 4 already!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th birthday, looks like lots of fun. Love her simple requests xx
I had to keep asking her if she was sure - didn't she want to go out somewhere fancy, didn't she want a big party tea? Nope. Sainsbury's cafe, and chicken pancakes for tea. :)
DeleteWhat a lovely birthday, you are a special mama to give you LO the food/day she asked for. Jenna's apple pie is amazing I hope it tasted as good as it looked it made me gasp! ;)
ReplyDeleteI so love the little birthday traditions. I know I would be in big trouble with the older ones if I ever missed something out! Jenna tells me she will keep wearing her birthday crown "forever" and will still want me to make her a special breakfast table when she's a teenager. <3
DeleteWhat a lovely birthday, so simple. A lovely thing to do for your sister - making an apple pie! It looks yummy. x
ReplyDeleteAny chance to be in the kitchen making something special, and Jenna is there! Just like her mama, she's good at using food to say "I love you"...
DeleteHappy birthday rowan, we're finding 4 a lovely age for Isobel still so little but so clear about what she wants. Hope she had a wonderful day, and that apple pie looks fab!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I can wrap my head around Rowan being four still, not just yet, she is still such a toddler. I remember how big I thought Jenna was at four!
DeleteHappy Birthday Rowan!! My Finley celebrated his 1 st birthday today too!! xxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect birthday for a beautiful 4 year old miss Rowan :)
ReplyDeleteHappy * birth * day too mama xx
