Birthday Celebrations!

We are in the UK and this week both our mums have been celebrating BIG birthdays.

On Sunday my mum, Barbara, was 85 years young:


 My sister, Sandra and husband, Graham & Andy & I took her for a meal at a local restaurant. My younger sister, Wendy was on holiday, so we are meeting again with more family and friends on Easter Monday.


Then on Wednesday, Andy's mom, Jose was 80 years young:

 This magnificent cake was made by a friend a Joanne, Andy's sister. All the small details are important items in her life...


During the day, lots of friends and family popped in to see her, with wonderful gifts. The in the evening the immediate family enjoyed a lovely meal at a local hotel.

 At the end of the meal we sang 'Happy Birthday' for the upteenth time, while this interesting flower/candle arrangement opened up - not bad for a find at the pound shop!


So Jose had a fabulous birthday:
