My 18th Birthday

Hello everybody,

my birthday was on Saturday and it was the best birthday I've ever had.
As you've seen from the title I became 18 so I'm pretty much an adult now.

First thing in the morning I wasn't allowed to get up because not everyone was ready at that time so I stayed in bed and opened my first present of the day from one of my best but also oldest friends. I can't describe you how I felt...all I can say is I cried (of happiness of course).
She wrote me a lovely letter and send a book with pictures of us over the years.
Then I was allowed to come downstairs to have breakfast. We had some Champagne with it as it was my special wish for the day. Later I got some presents from my family and beautiful flowers.
Afterwards, i got ready for my party. I wore a cute kinda beige dress with zip up sleeves from Apricot, plain black leggings and my black heels with rose gold zippers from Magic. I curled my hair and put it in a half up do. I invited my friends Six, Tate, Bridgette and Lou.They were quite surprised as I didn't tell them it wouldn't be just the 5 of us.

We had some coffee and cake first and sparkling wine too. We had a "Benjamin Blümchentorte" (it was my fav in my childhood and I hadn't had it in such a long time), a "Maulwurfkuchen" (basically choco cake with banana), 2 "Mohnschecken" (the best cake my mum can make it was a poppy-seed cake mixed with Eierschecke) and a Chocolate cake (recipe by BuzzFeed it's the Tres Leches Chocolate cake).

The day went on and then I unpacked all my presents. I'm so super grateful to have such lovely friends and family.

But the best part (of the official stuff for everyone) was dinner. We had a caterer who made such amazing food... I was in heaven. It was kinda Asian food so Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Indian. I loved the sweet potato mash with pumpkins and the dessert was foodgasm!!! Chocolate mousse with cherries and mango caviar.

After everyone left...except for my family.... my friends and I went upstairs to play some truth or dare (extreme....so it got quite sexual) it was hilarious and sooo much fun. Unfortunately, Lou had to leave early but Six, Tate and Bridgette stayed for a sleepover. 

So some of my birthday presents were:
Orchids, Pandora Charms, many books, DVDs, a trenchcoat, a hairdryer, a gift card for the escape room near me and many more things.

It really was the best day this year, I had such a great time with my friends and family and got so many lovely presents. I can't imagine it any better!

Which birthday of yours was the best one, yet? 
What was the best present you received?

Love, Steff xx
