esther is 12

esther woke up to find she had turned 12.  good for her

so the day started with card opening and present opening

after breakfast i whizzed off to get jane’s ipod replaced (which they did and gave her the latest version as a replacement because we’d paid for a special warranty thing).

and then esther’s friends sunny, lauren and amy arrived along with kezia’s friend heather.  after morning tea they went swimming then came back for a massive slap up fish and chip supper.  

after stuffing themselves with food they then went on the trampoline until it was time to go home

we then had a couple of hours of home work/computer mending (success for me!)

and then jane’s friend alex came round with her husband.  we went back to the fish and chip shop for another pile of fish and chips (the lady behind the counter was both pleased and a little concerned!)

kezia proudly pointed out she’d had fish and chips four times this week.  bad parenting. sorry

then this evening we’ve been to jane’s school to watch their production of Jesus Christ Superstar which was really professional. 

meanwhile it’s been a bit of a wild weathery day although we avoided the worst of it here.

here is esther pointing at her birthday cake.

(by the way, i’m now on google plus if anyone wants an invite – just drop me an email)
