Sarah's 14th year commenced leisurely on Saturday morning, the 14th of March, with Lindt chocolates for breakfast in bed. She was very happy!!
The supine sugar fix was followed by a more levitated, but still leisurely, morning stroll around the Saturday market in Aix. Our mother daughter duo made stops and some birthday purchases at a few of Sarah's favorite boutiques...
We visited the flower market in front of the Hotel de Ville where there was an overwhelming display of gorgeous flowers to choose from! Sarah could choose 14 stems and create a birthday bouquest but his proved to be too difficult given ALL the choices and she ultimately selected a fragrant, jasmine topiary for her room.
Later, Sarah and I met Nick for lunch at Boca Loca, Aix's newly opened, Tex-Mex restaurant. An ice cold can of Dr. Pepper was Sarah's primary reason for going there, but the delicious burritos and homemade salsa were also a lure.
That evening, Sarah and our friend, Teal Rapp, celebrated their joint birthdays at a party held in their honor at the Rapp's home in nearby Le Tholonet. Sarah received an unexpected bouquet of flowers from our friend and musician, Riad...
Megan made separate cakes for Sarah and Teal. With Teal celebrating his 41st and Sarah her 14th the numbered candles needed only to be reversed each time a cake was delivered and we sang "Happy Birthday" twice!
The birthday buddies...
The following weekend, Sarah celebrated her birthday with some of her girlfriends at a party at our apartment....
Jenn and Miranda are not sure about the pizza....
but Lara loved the hot dogs!
All in all, looks like Sarah's 14th year is off to a great start!!
