It was my 15th birthday on Tuesday and I definitely think it was up there with the other 'best birthdays' I've had so far. My gorgeous best friends threw an 'almost' surprise party for me, with a birthday feast and a homemade cake with 15 candles. Blowing the candles out and making a wish really never gets old! And their effort of decorating the house with streamers and balloons was also very much appreciated. We then danced around to really, really loud music like crazy (but happy) lunatics. 

In the afternoon, Mum, my sister and I each got a pedicure at a nail salon in town, and now I actually don't have to be ashamed of my toes, thank God! Dinner was at the revolving Orbit restaurant up in the Sky Tower, and for those of you that don't know Auckland well, the Sky Tower is an iconic landmark in the city that stretches up 328 metres tall. So, as expected, the views from the restaurant were magnificent! Pity it was quite foggy the night we went, but all the city lights were pretty all the same. 

All in all, it was a fabulous 15th birthday to remember! And thank you again for all your lovely bday wishes!
