sixteen candles

 morgana turned sixteen today.

 the ring is full!

 lucky morgana always gets summer clothes for her birthday.

 breakfast with daddy before he goes to work . . korrina had already left! we so missed her.

 it was a rainy day which we spent at home. it was peaceful and sweet to listen to the rain outside while we read. lunch was goat cheese, figs and honey. very greek. oh! and homemade sour dough bread.

after dance classes in the afternoon, we stopped at the whole foods at columbus circle to pick up the pizza dough for dinner.

while daddy and i attended to necessary last minute laundry, morgana and chanda put together the dinner. korrina had already fallen asleep in her room. it was late! but she woke for the festivities.

chanda found an old home movie from morgana's 11th birthday. she was thoroughly amused. in it korrina was quoting from the pirates of the caribbean and flashing a knife around, and someone was causing disaster in the kitchen by knocking down dishes and getting into the milk . . (that sounds like kitty cat antics).

 key lime pie . . 

happy birthday morgana.
