Birthdays, Bowling and Burgers...

We've had a great weekend in our house...2 birthdays...Abi turned the big 13 and Ethan 7...so in honour of the occasion I thought I would make a fun, flower birthday cake complete with tulips for candles!




 
This was followed by a family game of ten pin...which, for the first time ever, I won!! I don't think my husband has got over it yet!


To top it all off we had big fat birthday burgers...


Happy Birthday Abi and Ethan...love you both so much!

Birthday BBQ...

So we had a birthday in our family on thursday...our gorgeous Meganne turned 15...



Her one request was that we have a bbq on the beach for her birthday...unfortunately, gail force winds and rain meant that we wimped out and had to do it last night instead!! It was definitely worth the wait...in true British style we huddled behind windbreakers...shivering after an hour of bodyboarding...and cranked up the barbeques!




One bbq collapsed as soon as it was set up...epic fail...but Jon managed to redeem it with his Jonny Rambo skills...burning himself in the process!! By the time it was all cooked we had purple lips and had lost all feeling in our outer extremeties but we kept calm and carried on...giving the kids the line 'it's a memory maker'!!!
So here's my boys...even the dog who managed to get himself a burger!





and finally...camera shy Ethan!


And lastly Abi...


We had a great time...and to top it off we had the most amazing sunset...followed by a couple hours of thawing out with a cup of tea!
