Happy Birthday, Mum!

WARNING: Lots of photos in this post so I'll try and keep the writing to a minimum ;) Today is my Mum's **th birthday, and she looks jolly good for her age! Yesterday she had family round for tea and cakes in celebration. As always, she put on a lovely spread which was enjoyed by everyone. Jon did the honours, lighting the candles. I did notice that Mum kept the number of candles down to make it easier blowing them out - what a spoil sport ;)
Tyler enjoyed watching her doing the deed regardless of how many candles there were!

Tyler and I had great fun playing with his digger :)
Today Mum and I went and did our weekly grocery shopping in the morning as usual but at lunch time, Claire and I took Mum and Dad to Prezzo's for lunch. Prezzo's is a local Italian restaurant that we love going to and today was no different.

In other news, I finally finished the quilt. Once I'd finished sewing on the binding, I decided the border was a bit plain so I did a bit more quilting. Fortunately, once I'd finished that I was happy with the end result.
And last night it was put to good use!
