Celebrations and Traditions

This past weekend we did both.  Usually we have kept our daughter's birthday separate from any Christmas activity but this year it just couldn't be done.  Trying to work around my husband's shift work, the kids exam schedules and other Christmas commitments meant it had to be done the same day.  At age 23 it doesn't bother her.

A few ornaments from the tree.

The tree before it fell over.  What a mess a full stand of water makes!  We are getting very close to switching to artificial, must be getting old!

Yummy chocolate cake to celebrate our middle child's birthday, and coloured flames on the candles.

All in all, a very fun filled day.
