It had rained most of the day but cleared up and remained dry for our little firework display, Mr R did the honours and was responsible for the fireworks and safety systems - a hard job with lots of little children wanting to help.
Everyone was wrapped up warm and the little ones had gloves on for holding sparklers - at arms length of course. I must admit I stayed in the warm and watched the festivities through the window. The children had such fun and when they came indoors they had lovely glowing pink cheeks.
My photos don't do the fireworks justice but give you a little glimpse of a happy and fun family evening, only sad bit was that Kate, Seb and Jake couldn't come but we will meet up very soon.
I am joining in with Hannapats "weekly bake along" but unfortunately I am a little late!
Talk soon x
Looks like you all had a marvellous time, thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteWe don't have bonfire night here, but it looks like a good excuse to gather the family and enjoy each other's company! I think I'd be happy to watch from indoors too ... it's been so miserable outdoors the past few days. Happy Monday to you Sue! Wendy x
ReplyDeleteLooks as though a great time was had by all! xx
ReplyDeleteSue, it looks like a great evening. Both my husband and my Dil have birthdays on the 5th of November . Happy times
ReplyDeleteBoth these cakes sound delicious, and that chocolate cake looks really interesting. I think I will be putting this book on my Christmas list, one can't go wrong with Mary Berry, can you?! It looks like you are all having heaps of fun. No time limit on the bake along, so just whenever. Thanks for linking in. xoxo ps will email soon
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a lot of fun - and I really don't think bonfire parties are supposed to be gourmet bashes, wouldn't be right somehow. Juliex
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a wonderful time.

Your Bonfire Night looks like lots of fun. Both cakes sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun, and your cakes sound delicious - think I need to add that book to my Wanties list too!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of pure delight on the faces of the little ones - so sweet.
Have a lovely week,
Xx
Lots of smiles and happy moments, complete with yummy cake! You sure know how to make loving memories for your dear family! Chrissie x

Both of your baked goods look delicious! It looks like loads of fun to have bonfire too and the children look happy with the night's event.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! The cakes look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI really miss bonfire night now we're not living in the UK. I think it's the sparklers and the jacket potatoes!!! :-)

It looks like everyone had a fun time! And as far as the cake being a little dry, I operate on the theory that "there is no such thing as a failed dessert." No matter how badly they turned out when I was raising my family, they always got eaten!
ReplyDeleteYour photos show all the fun and love in your family, I'd say they are pretty fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
That cake looks amazing! I was given one of those round bundt style tins but have never used it. Your family fireworks party looks like a lot of fun. x
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an amazing Bonfire party, and those cakes look sublime!!
