As I mentioned earlier in the week, this weekend saw me celebrating a significant birthday ;o) As you can see, it was the big 5-0! I'd like to say thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes, both here and on Facebook, I really appreciated them and felt quite special :)
We started bright and early with Claire and Alice arriving at 7.30am - with a birthday balloon and big badge just to make sure I remembered how old I was (not really - Claire loves birthdays and wanted to add some fun!)
We had a great morning, having breakfast together and playing with Alice. Jon went off to get the last minute shopping for the birthday tea in the afternoon while we stayed home and "relaxed".
I was so pleased I got to spend time with my beautiful granddaughter before she went off to have some fun with her Daddy.
In the afternoon we had the family round for afternoon tea. Most of us live within a short drive from each other but Michelle, Matthew, Josh and Lily have an hour and a half + journey to make so I was really pleased they were able to come.

Isn't she growing up so fast and she's so cute!
Emily took a break from revising to spend some time with everyone.

And finally, I mentioned before on the blog that my nephew, Kyle and his fiance, Emma had got engaged. Emma had been waiting for her ring to be ready and finally got to go and get it on Saturday morning. It is absolutely beautiful and she can finally get to show it off.
Unfortunately I didn't get photos of everyone who was there because I was busy enjoying the afternoon and not concentrating on taking photos so much. So, to those who aren't featured in this post, I apologise but thank you for being there to help me celebrate, I had a lovely day.
