Yesterday, we celebrated our eldest's 23rd birthday with a family lunch. It was neat to have it on the weekend during the school holidays, then we could all attend.
Interestingly, she didn't want to go out for lunch, which was our preferred consideration; however, she wanted to have a shared lunch at home, so we did.
It was interesting to see each family member coming with either drinks, a roast, potato salad, surimi salad, three meats with seasoned rice, along with creamy mushroom sauce.
After lunch, we had a blessing service, she blew out the candles of her cake, and she cut the cake as our dessert (being too full from lunch). We also had a time of affirmations, focusing on two positive things to say about her.
After that, she opened her presents and each person had given her a personal gift. As an artist, she received art supplies, stationery, homewares, candles, and other items. She is currently completing her final year in Law school at the University, as well as recently starting a full-time job.
Afterwards, we had a great time with karaoke. We started with three teams of two people and then sang random songs. We had so much fun that when the birthday girl left with her boyfriend, the rest of us continued singing and laughing until we were all sung out...
