A LOVELY WEEKEND WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

(Clematis from my garden.)
Hi, everyone!

Thanks for all your sweet comments, regarding my living room make-over!

As I said on my previous post... I had a busy, but very enjoyable weekend!
PARTYING!

...

On Saturday evening the "Mosses" went to see Jodie-Lee dance...
She also received 4 dancing trophies along with ribbons...
And a special medal for wonderful dedication to dancing!

(J.L and her lovely dancing teacher on the photo below...)

And on Sunday... It was my mum and her husband 8th wedding anniversary!
(These pretty flowers... Are from their garden.)

As a gift... I surprised them by ordering a cake to celebrate the happy occasion...

I wanted the cake to be simple...

So I could do this...

I had great fun decorating it...

With this pair of vintage bone china ducklings...

I also made this card for them!

For Bill (my mums husband) we offered an hydrangea plant!

(He loves gardening!)

And for my lovely mum... I made, what I think it was a pretty gift!:-)

And I enjoyed wrapping it...

 

 After all... Its the little details...

My younger brother... Gave them this card!:-)

Which we thought it was very appropriate!

And got us all in stitches!

And this beautiful orchid!

And we can`t have a party without yummy food...
Below... are just a few, of the Portuguese food!

...
(Pasteis de nata.)

 (Bolo de bolacha.)

(Pudim.)

(Bacalhau a bras.) = Dried cod with cream.

There were about 14 of us... And we all had great FUN!

I must say to Bill a BIG THANK YOU...

For being a great supportive friend to us and a caring husband for my mum...

As she so deserves!

TODAY I`M DREAMING OFF...

THAT MY MUM AND BILL WILL HAVE MANY MORE HAPPY YEARS TOGETHER!
