Yesterday my daughter celebrated her 14th birthday with a group of her friends. They came on over during the afternoon, spent time together, then had the dinner cooked for them by my husband. I wrote a personification of one of the things they ate to add a little mystery to the day. I loved the answers you gave – and I think I will consider those things for my daughter’s 15th birthday party (especially the chocolate fountain! 🙂 ).
The mystery food was a chocolate birthday cake – my daughters’ favourite type of cake. Freshly baked and iced by me, the cake crumbled as I sliced pieces for the guests. Each teenage girl enjoyed their slice – with many asking for seconds.
A fun time was had by everyone at the party.
I would like to thank you all for playing along yesterday and sharing your guesses with us.
Did you enjoy the mystery post yesterday?

How lovely to be still young enough to have the kiddies with you, enjoy that reality, soon they may be away like in our case cities or countries away.

I am because I realize, with each passing year as they get older, that the time for them to fly into their own future is coming nearer.

LOL Colline – my favorite part of your post is that your HUSBAND did the cooking!!! Happy birthday to your daughter. Glad to hear the girls are still enjoying cake rather than into the teenage-girl phase of undereating to be thin.

The cooking is his contribution to the party. When the girls were younger, it was a lot of work looking after them. Now that they are older it is a lot easier 🙂
