So my birthday was an amazing, wonderful day, which was everything that I had hoped it to be.
It started out a wee bit earlier than I had intended it to be. I went to be at 9 and put my light out at ten. Then I slept until 3:30 am when a gorgeous little brother of mine asked me if he could hop in my bed. I told him no and instead he hopped into Eden's. But he had woken me up and after going to the toilet and getting a drink, I still couldn't get back to sleep. Hence I spent the next hour trying to get to sleep, then decided I couldn't be bothered as I had planned to Skype one of my friends from the U.S. at 5:00 am. So I got up. I Skyped my friend which was really fun! She had seen Thor 2 on her birthday which is just a few days before mine. We talked about a lot of stuff. After that I watched Sir Gadabout with the little kids, went outside and then watched a bit more of Sir Gadabout. After that it was present opening time! I got all the books I wanted plus, the Sherlock DVD's. :) Saxon gave me a card with an announcement that he would be taking me to see Thor: The Dark World. Eden gave me a blow up mattress for going on the pool and twenty dollars (she loved giving presents and is very generous) and Autumn gave me earrings, which I was very happy about. :)
I had my breakfast and then we left for the cinemas. I wore my birthday crown all the time we were in town. :) After the movie finished we came home and I spent a while up in my room having a look at my books. Reading mostly 'The Sherlock Files' which is basically a visual guide to the series. :)
Braedon and Anna-Lisa came and brought Eden home from work as well. They also brought me two presents. Or two different lots of presents. One being a headband as Braedon had been fiddling with one of mine and had accidentally broken it, so they gave me another headband and two cute little guinea pigs. :) A boy and a girl. Anyone like some guinea pigs? Because I am going to have a LOT to give away! They're Abyssinian Guinea Pigs I think and their names are Olga da Polga and Percy. :)
Dinner was very nice. Beef Stroganoff with potatoes and my favourite vegetables. It was interesting not having to do any of the jobs and just being able to sit there and watch everyone while I read.
Then we had dinner and cleared away for my cake. Can you guess what it was? A violin for Sherlock Holmes. Can I just say that my Mum is so talented when it comes to making cakes? After that we had it, I took some of the little kids to bed, and then came down stairs to watch 'The Reichbach Falls' with Mum, Eden and Saxon. Then I went to bed. By the time I put out my light I had been awake for twenty hours, and I was pretty tired. And I was fifteen.

Earrings up the top. Then Sherlock season 1&2, Sherlock Holmes complete box set which are really nice books, harcover and the edges are gold. I don't know the term for that. They are pretty small books but I lvoe them all the same.
Under that Princess of the Silver Woods, the third and final instalment in the Twelve Dancing Princesses series by Jessica Day George . Under that, the Sherlock Files by Guy Adams, very good stuff. It also had, besides stick notes of Sherlock and John's opinions, says wher such lines as 'You see but do not observe' are from, as in which stories.
Under that Waking Rose, an awesome book
Tuesdays at the Castle another Jessica Day George
The Thief Lord which I have wanted for quite some time. It or Inkdeath are the best Corneila Funkle novels in my opinion. |
Thank you Mummy and Daddy for getting my presents, and Eden, Saxon, Autumn, Braedon and Anna-Lisa thank you all so much for my gifts as well.
So I had a very good day, and am now read for all the toils and triuphs that fifteen will hold. Bring it on!
God Bless
Your birthday sounds wonderful. Awesome gifts, too, I'm so glad you got BBC Sherlock! :)
ReplyDeleteThe guine pigs are cute! :)
~Jamie
Thanks Jamie! It was indeed! :D So am I! I soooo wanted it and I got it!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are. They squeak whenever I pick them up but they are getting better at being held by me. :)
God Bless,
Vellvin.
Happy (belated) birthday! Glad you had a good birthday. :) Those Sherlock DVDs are cool. That show is awesome!
ReplyDelete-James
Thanks James!!! :D It was awesome! Yep, it is. Better than Dr. Who. :P Which I know you'll disagree on. :)
DeleteGod Bless,
Vellvin.
Cheers again! I love birthdays where one is allowed to do nothing...:)I'm the lucky one because my own is so near Christmas and is always the last day of school, while my siblings don't have as much fun because school is still in...:)
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks incredible! In our house we eat pie on our birthday instead. My mom works really hard and asking her for an impressive cake is a bit much...otherwise I would have asked one year for a One Ring of Doom cake...:)
I just posted a long comment on my own blog figuring out the time difference...
Yep, birthdays like that are the best! My birthday was on a Saturday this year so I didn't have to do school! We um, usually forget about our school on birthdays *cough cough* Usually because there is so much to do and after we've done all of it we just want to have a break. :)
DeleteThank you! :) Pie sounds like a cool idea as well. To each their own I've had a hobbit hole cake which was pretty awesome and we've had a few other LOTR cakes as well.
Going to reply in a sec.
God Bless,
Vellvin.
Happy birthday! I am Amy, hope you don't mind my commenting. Your blog is awesome. Keep it up.

P.S I hate House of Hades too!
Hey Amy Penn,
DeleteWelcome to my blog, I am so glad that you like it! :)
I haven't even finished it yet! It is going to take some doing for me to read it. :)
God Bless,
Vellvin.
I know, but at least after that bit with Nico they don't really mention it again! Did you like how some of the old characters came back? I kind of guessed that they would put Calypso in and that she would still be on her island!!
Delete-Amy Penn
I know some books you might like to read if you liked the other Percy Jackson's! Have you read the H.I.V.E series? The Children of the Lamp? Ranger's Apprentice? Redwall books? Mousehunter trillogy? Kane Chronicles? These are some of my favourite series! I have you read any of them? What are your favourites?
Delete-Amy Penn
Well, I haven't really got past that yet. I've been reading a lot of other books instead. Yes, I did. Tyson is one of my favourites, as well as Percy and Annabeth who are just awesome! Well, I wasn't sure but it is interesting to hear about her again. :)
DeleteGod Bless,
Vellvin.
I've read Ranger's Apprentice. :) One of my favourite books series ever! We have Redwall but they didn't really 'click' with me. I have not heard of any of the other books. Hmm, my favourites. Well if you click on my profile there should be a rather long list. :)
DeleteGod Bless,
Vellvin.
Dear Vellvin,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had an awesome birthday and enjoyed all we had to offer for you
Love Mummy
Thank you, Mummy. I love you soooo much! Thank you for making my day as special as I had hoped for. <3
DeleteLove you,
Vellvin.
Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had such a great time. By the way the Redwall and Rangers Aprentice books are really good. If it's not to much trouble could you read the first part of my Labors of Hercules books on my blog and comment? Really need some evaluation and criticism. We just saw Thor the Dark World to. It was really good. So funny when Loki changed into Captain America and all the other great Loki-Thor scenes. May you enjoy many more good birthday's!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benjamin! :D I'll try and read it tomorrow and give you some feedback. :) Yeah! It was awesome! Do you have a favourite Avenger? My favourite is Thor. :) Yeah, that Captain America part was the best, and yes, all the Loki-Thor scenes.
DeleteThank you for the comment.
God Bless,
Vellvin.
