2 Birthdays and a Linky


We had a double birthday last week! Amanda turned 11 last Thursday and I turned 44 last Sunday. One of Amanda's gifts was a 20,000+ LEGO set from my in-laws of the US Capital. I realize that I still need to update Amanda's header on this blog and Facebook page to reflect her age!

Samantha and Amanda picked flowers from the garden and made a pretty bouquet for my birthday. Robbie made waffles and bacon for breakfast. One of my gifts from my in-laws was a locally distilled boutique gin called Six Dogs. I posted photos of it on Instagram

My mother-in-law also took us out for lunch at the Oumeul (Old Mill) Bakery and Café at Du Toitskloof Cellar. All 4 kids were at home this weekend, so even if I don't get Mother's Day photos with all of them, I now have these!

Lovely that you had all your kids together - that becomes so special as they get older!!
My goodness where does the time go another year, what a fun place to visit for a birthday!! Happy Birthday, Amanda!!
Thank you for hosting!! Have a great week!
Happy Birthday to you both! So you're a gin lover, are you? I never could acquire the taste and believe me I tried. What a lovely family you are and it's so nice you were all in one spot. That I'm guessing hot fudge swirl chocolate milkshake looks incredible.

Aw! Thanks! I get lonely in our neck of the woods, so the photography helps me remember to count my blessings and appreciate where I live. Also, all the neat people I’ve met on the internet in the indie world (including yourself) have also become my friends. 🙂
The internet does have its blessings :D
