We were actually at a friends party who were celebrating their 'just married' tag. So they brought in a second cake to wish me Happy Birthday as well! That was a thoughtful surprise and a sweet gesture. Although, I was quite aware they would do something for me at the strike of twelve, traditionally

Maybe I played spoilsport by not acting very surprised etc but nevertheless, it felt nice and special. The day was spent with family at home since that is how I like celebrating my birthdays- quiet and peaceful yet special. I made my twins taste a little of the creamy piece and cannot wait to cut my birthday cake when they will be old enough to give me surprises themselves!  Those birthdays will be exceptional in their own way, etched in my memory forever.

So here is to turning older and happier, only to be made to feel the luckiest father and happiest birthday boy, by my children.. SOON!

Love,

Hiten
