In the past when it was just the 2 of us we would dress up, have a nice dinner out and that was that. The joy of birthdays now is that they are celebrated more through a childs eyes. It is now so much fun to bake a cake and decorate it and then make a big fuss over blowing out the candles. It is fun to go shopping for a range of presents, make paper, wrap the presents and make or decorate cards. When it comes to the unwrapping we have a 2 1/2 yo who just loved ripping the paper off and seeing what was inside and then just moving on to the next one.Saturday, March 03, 2007
Another birthday
Peter turned 42 yesterday - double being 21 and has highlighted to us all that we are moving up in numbers but still feel quite a few numbers younger.

Happy birthday Peter! Great month for birthddays. Tiffany will be the big "30" on Monday and I will hit the big 52 on the 27th. So much fun to come and visit the boys and give her a little time out with grown ups on her birthday weekend. We have had so much fun. I can't get over how much they have grown especially the little one. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings, Lolah
