We all got together at the weekend to celebrate Mums 80th birthday stroke my birthday stroke Easter. It was a full house with 7 people and Murray the dog.
On Friday night we had a cottage pie and laughed a lot over Face Juggler. . its an App on Tel s phone where you take a photo of 2 or 3 people and then it juggles the faces about with hilarious results. It sort of creates some long lost family members that have come down from the hills. . . !!!
On Saturday we went to the garden centre where Mum kindly bought me a rose bush and a honeysuckle as a birthday present. We spent the rest of the day getting the party ready. . we worked well as a team in the kitchen with the food and upstairs with the decorations. It all turned out really well. . and there were tears and lots of photos and laughs. . especially when we played ping pong and trivial pursuit and it all got a bit competitive.
On Sunday we went out for Easter Sunday lunch and then everyone headed home.
Murray behaved himself while he was here and it gave us a taste of what it is like having a dog in the house. There were lots of doggy related presents. . but no sign of a real life four legged friend.
We have decided it is like a jubilee year for Mum .There will be lots of nice things going on for her over the summer. x
