This week we celebrated Star’s 18th birthday and it’s hard to believe that she’s now no longer my little girl. Here is the 18th Birthday Cake she chose for herself.
It was really delicious and so rich. Good choice Star!
Star’s first birthday recorded on this blog was her 7th and she had a My Little Pony party. It was my most read post for many years because I included a downloadable template for a My Little Pony which we used at the party for the kids to add their own decorations and tails. The image was featured on a popular MLP page on Pinterest and I had thousands of visitors for it. I made her a Rainbow Dash Cake for that party. The MLP party was her last birthday party because the following year, not only did we move house but Star was having problems with her neck. We began the tradition of Pizza Hut and Build a Bear which lasted for many years.
Last year Star was in hospital and we were praying that she would make it home for her 17th birthday. She did and we had a day much like we did this year with visitors and party food and pizza and games and lots of Pokemon! She was looking forward to starting college but ended up back in hospital and her problems have still not been resolved.
She’ll always be my Star, and my precious little girl that I waited 16 years for. (I always wanted more kids but my ex didn’t, then he left and I spent many years as a single Mum until I met Graham who wanted kids but time was running out and I was lucky to have three more children in my 40s!)
Happy 18th Birthday Star! I am wishing you a happy and healthy year! #MMBC
