The family came to celebrate my birthday. The weather, which had been very wet, was mostly clear and a pleasant 21C about 70F so we were very comfortable sitting outside. We couldn't remember when all 5 siblings and all 5 grandchildren were together. All together with partners I think we were 17.
Since there's really nothing that I need ( and I am trying to get rid of a lot of stuff) I was the happy recipient of lots of flowers. Eldest Daughter took a small red wagon that had Merry Christmas written on the side and transformed it. She had everyone sign their name on it to make it truly a treasure. She filled it with plants and set it between 2 jugs of yet more flowers.
There were gorgeous bouquets for the tables in the dining room and sunroom.
No party is complete without cake. There were bought ones and...
these lovely cakes made by the DIL who has the talent to create miniature masterpieces. Each cake was a different flavour and all were delicious💗.
It was definitely a day to remember.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes here on my blog. I appreciate every single one.

ReplyDeleteThe wagon idea is so cute! I'm glad you had a great celebration of your birthday with lovely flowers, delicious cake, and best of all, family gathered around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday celebration! I love that they gave you flowers - I have told my family to do the same, as I have everything that I need already. And flowers are so beautiful and so joyful to have around the house. Enjoy them, and I know you will smile each time you see them and think of all the love behind the gifts. Have a happy week, Mxxx

You were well celebrated! Flowers are the best gift, and cake!
ReplyDeleteWow - those are the perfect presents for you! Happy Birthday!! It sounds perfectly divine as a celebration -- Do you mean *your* siblings? Or your five children and their children? In any case, with 17 of you together, that is a lot of LOVE.
