I was up bright and early yesterday as I had a birthday brunch to prepare -
my baby girl hit 30 - how can my youngest daughter be 30. It only seems five minutes since I was a young working mum with three little
girls, Kate was 3, Laura was 1 and Vicky was a new baby, life was very hectic
but full of reward. Moving on thirty years my life has changed a lot, my
daughters have blossomed with busy careers and their very own families and I no
longer work in the Health Service - I am now a stay at home Nana, but I
have to say life is still hectic but just different.
Wow that makes me feel old I had better get on with the birthday
celebrations. I decided on brunch because it's easier with a big crowd and we
can all chip in together toasting crumpets, teacakes, welsh cakes and potato cakes and warming lovely buttery croissants - yummy.
Then we had bucks fizz and birthday cake and of course lots of other
tasty goodies. I had great fun attaching marshmallows to straws and
dipping them in melted chocolate - I got the idea

We all had such fun but I am definitely in need of a rest day today ....................talk soon x
Where did the time go? Looks like a beautiful party.
ReplyDeleteOh that all looks so pretty... and yummy!

Looks fab - and how wonderful that you all get together to celebrate. My eldest is 19 and it always makes me feel very old when I say to colleagues with babies 'it flies by' - but it's so true! The thing is they seem to have grown up but I don't feel any older (I certainly look it though!)Love the marshmallow idea x Jane
ReplyDeleteWow!! Maybe you should cater as your next career! Everything looks so delicious and professional, so nice that you enjoyed the time with your family together. I love that marshmallow in the pink chocolate ... very effective in a 'bouquet' ... and the birthday cake looks lovely! Enjoy putting your feet up now that the party is wrapped up. Wendy ;)
ReplyDeleteMy baby is fast approaching the big 30 too. Thanks for the birthday ideas, love the bunting hangers.
