Helen Has Another Birthday

In amongst the plethora of events occurring here towards the end of March, Helen faces a dilemna most years now. In the past, she had the sole focus of this time of year, at which time she was showered with gifts, and often has a birthday that would last for a month, with numerous gatherings and cakes and the such.
However, now she has a daughter with a birthday just two days after hers, it can sometimes feel as though her own birthday gets lost in the crazyness, and that she doesn't always get what she used to.

Of course, it could be worse. She could be her husband, who has to ENSURE that this doesn't happen, and that Helen gets as much attention as she ever did, along with the added crazyness of Madeleine's birthday festivities.

Anyway... today Helen had a birthday lunch with Jodie, which is good for the both of them.

Then she was able to unwrap her birthday perfume that she purchased on our Sydney weekend away, as well as receiving some flowers from her kids, and a birthday dinner of T-bone steak with chips and salad.

Hopefully, she thought all of that was good enough...

Given that there has been plenty of boirthday cake already, Helen was presented with a Turkish Delight Egg with cupcakes and Twix with candles, rather than a traditional cake. I think she liked it.  :)
