Em's 13th Birthday

eMILY jANE lANCASTER has officially turned 13......goin on 30 if the truth be known ! Our precious baby girl celebrated her birthday in style with five of her closest girlfriends who are all gorgeous & well rounded people. Her bestie Olivia stayed on the Friday night & on Saturday morning Em & Olivia were picked up by Julie for breakfast & shopping. Em & Olivia arrived back around 10.30am & helped prepare for the party. We had a spa party here at the new house & it was much fun all round. I think the pics say it all ! Em's party was from 12 to 4 and then starting at 5 we had friends & family over. The party went till wee hours of the morning with most popping in the spa for a bit of fun........ Grandma Frank came down for the occasion & hopped in the spa wearing Simon's boardshorts ! unfortunately picture not available as Kim was v tired & opted out around midnight...... Em slept in our bed with me & relegated her dad to the couch CHICKS RULE ! On the Sunday Em & Simon stayed until around 1.30 before their mum picked them up for a family party. All in all it was a GREAT weekend. Oh & Em is having another party next weekend at her mum's with another group of friends - and I have hears whispers that BOY's are coming to that one ! Oh to be 13 again
