Today was my Birthday! I had a delightful time. When I woke in the morning quite early I could not go back to sleep so I walked out my door only to find a card from Mirai with a clue for a treasure hunt in it! Over the next half hour I had to seek out my presents all over the house, it was fun and I think amusing for the both of us. Mirai’s gifts included the most beautiful “Beauty and the Beast” faberge style egg framed in brass and pink crystal with two little dancing figurines inside, some yummy hello kitty strawberry marshmallows, a new suitcase for Miss Charlotte and best of all a package from BABY the stars shine bright! A lovely pink nightgown from their In the Room collection, a gold bow shaped hair clip and Bunny Slippers!!!

The Prince made us french toast for breakfast and then let me open his present which was a new notebook computer! I had to slap him obviously, as I had told him not to buy me something so expensive, but I am grateful none the less the one I am using previously is a hand-me-down and is getting a bit old and slow. My new laptop is Pink! I am still trying to think of a name for her, maybe Cherry because she’s that colour pink. Now I can play pretty games and open more than one thing in photoshop ^_~

For lunch we drove up to meet the Queen and visit at one of my favourite gardens, the Melville Heritage Rose gardens. I had a yummy Ciabatta for lunch and iced tea and then we went for a walk in the gardens and Mirai took some photos. Here is one of me beside a creek in where trailing rose briars were growing. The flowers weren’t as good as my past visits there, but it was still enjoyable and I look forward to having a Tea Party here in the future as Eugene is planning one. I wore a dress I have had for a little while but was saving for a special occaision, it is BABY’s angel gobelin print and I just love the pale tea rose colour! I was also wearing the new clip from Mirai, but you can’t see it in the photos.

The King took us all out for dinner to Hayashi, a japanese restaurant I have not visited before. The food was delicious (I had teriyaki beef and we all shared tempura and agedashi tofu) and the service was the best I have had in a long time. The waitress even wished me Happy Birthday! For desert we had Azzura kisses, little balls of ice cream in a candy coating, they were so delicious and trying the different flavours was fun. It was a lovely night, I feel truly spoilt and I haven’t even had my party yet!

Lastly, I wish to thank everyone who sent me emails, messages and e-cards! You are so sweet it really made my day perfect to come home to an inbox full of birthday wishes *hugs* thank you so much!
