Family Birthday Celebrations


Group family photo celebrating a 50th birthday Ann, a 21st Birthday Joy and a recent 20th Birthday Bethany so lots of reasons to party. There should have been another 50th birthday celebrated as well but unfortunately due to car trouble she couldn't make it down. We will have to see what we can do later in the year Sue!


Ambers Presents

As I promised yesterday today you get to see if Amber got any presents at her party or not. Now it would be a very sad little 4 year old princess if she didn’t get any presents…

Amber party-14

Fortunately she did get presents so she was soon ripping the paper off squealing with delight…

Amber party-15

She even got a new set of fairy wings from one of her princess friends…

Amber party-16

Some people  even seemed to be following the princess theme in their wrapping paper…

Amber party-17

I think Amber and her fellow princesses had a great party; I say princesses there were two princes there too, Ambers brother and the brother of one of the princesses, they all had a great time playing together.

Amber party-18

It was soon time for the princesses chauffeurs (parents) to collect them and take them home.

All that was then left to do, was to leave Ambers daddy to do the tidying up of the toys at the end of the party…

So Happy Birthday Amber, thank you for a wonderful party.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting Ambers party with me, please come back tomorrow for some new photo opportunities, and feel free to visit any of the previous posts to see what else the camera may have seen.

Happy Birthday Amber Continued…

Those of you who read my blog yesterday will know that it was my niece Ambers Birthday this week and when we went to wish her Happy Birthday, she was having a Princesses Birthday party with some of her friends.

As you know, Princesses have to look their best and Amber certainly did. Her own personal hair stylist, (her mum), had done her hair up beautifully…

Amber party-7

There was certainly lots of smiles and laughter going on, these princesses were having a wonderful party.

Amber party-8

Amber party-10

What comes next after all the fun and games? Of course, the party food…

Amber party-11

A table full of goodies for the hungry princesses and their equally hungry helpers. There was even more cake and goodies not in the photo that came out later.

The Princesses certainly liked everything that was on offer as there was lots of empty plates at the end.

To round off the food there’s one more cake to try the Birthday cake…

Amber party-12

Come on Amber get your daddy to help blow those candles out…

Amber party-13

Well done Amber, all out, but wait a minute what about your presents? Oh well reader you will have to come back tomorrow for more photos of that bit of the party. See you then.

Happy Birthday Amber

It is my Niece Amber’s birthday this week and so we called around to wish her Happy Birthday.

Amber

When we arrived she was having a Princesses Birthday party with some of her friends. They were all dressed up in Princesses outfits and looked really good. The party was already underway when we got there and they had already played some energetic games so they were having a quiet time playing the memory card game as we arrived.

Amber party

Although I think my camera clicking may have disturbed the concentration on the game as they all turned to look at the camera…

Concentration did quickly return to the game though…

Amber party-4

Energetic games did resume shortly with a game of musical bumps where every child that went out got a sticker, which meant they could continue to dance and play but the organiser of the game knew who was left actually playing the game. A great idea.

Amber party-6

Come back tomorrow for more fun from Amber’s Birthday party.

Happy Anniversary

Today is my parents wedding anniversary so I wish to just say, Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad.
It's also my Dads Birthday, yes he got married on his birthday, so Happy Birthday Dad too!
We won't forget my niece who also shares her birthday today as well, so Happy Birthday Rachael.

 Have a great day all of you.

Fathers Day.

Happy Fathers Day.

Being a Dad is great! I’ve got 3 wonderful girls who mean the world to me…

Girls-1

so every day is Fathers day for me.

This week though I got the pleasure of spending a day out with my mum and dad at Belton House in Lincolnshire. It was a great day out…

mum & dad-1

We got to take lots of photos something my dad and I both enjoy.

On the day we were there, we spotted lots of families of geese roaming around the gardens…

Belton geese-1-3

They were out on the lake in large numbers as well…

Belton geese-1

I’m not sure what the fathers role is in the goose family, but, I want to say thank you for the support, encouragement, generosity and love given so freely as I’ve grown up from my dad.

I hope that in my role as a Dad I can be, for my daughters, the kind of dad they need me to be.

Happy Fathers day to all the Dads out there…

Playing

As part of Brenda’s Photo Challenge, todays blog follows the theme of playing. Now what better encapsulates playing than when children get together. In this case it was three older cousins [my daughters] with my Brother – in - laws two. Esther and Harriet help with the hoops in the back garden…

Cousins playing-1

Here Toby proves he has been trained well, money money, mine mine!

Toby being the kind young man he is didn’t want his sister Amber to feel left out, so he made sure she got a present too.

amber-1-2

Her dad Martin tried it on for size first, but no it doesn't suit you Martin give it back…
