Dad's 81st birthday was on Tuesday but because he was taking Mum to the hospital for a scan that day it was decided that he would have his birthday tea on Saturday. Some of the family were working but those who weren't were there to help celebrate another year.
Dad had some help from Tyler when it came to opening his present, which seemed only fitting as Tyler had chosen it specially for Great Grandpa.
Tyler knows Dad likes his gardening and decided that he needed a train flower pot and even told his Mum that Grandpa would be able to put plants in it.
Tyler's Mum, Theresa and little sister, Alyssa (hasn't she grown!) Can't believe she'll be one next month, do you remember those baby photos? Doesn't time fly!
Tyler was also on hand to help with blowing out the candles - good job Tyler!
When everyone came up to get cake it was a good chance to take a photo of those present.

A very enjoyable, relaxed afternoon with lots of chatting and enjoying the younger ones antics. Thanks Mum and Dad xx

It's always nice to see a happy set of family pictures. I'm sure there is a page or two to be had from these :)
