Happy Birthdays In New Home

Celebrating birthdays in our new home.

I thought I'd kill two birthdays with one post 😆

Seren turned 12! Carys turned 10! 

Where does the time go? Off with the fairies or dragons? Who knows ~ I just know they are both one more year older!

As per my usual 😁  I decided to go all out-ish lol it was, after all, their first birthday in our new home.

I'll start with Carys, her birthday was on March 14th and Seren on the 22nd March. Both girls wanted their parties to take place in summer - hence summer themed

THE CHOCOLATE GAME

you take turns throwing dice and when you get a 6 you have to put on, gloves, hat, scarf & glasses and try to eat as much chocolate as you can before the next person rolls a 6, then you have to take off those items and the other person gets to put them on.... as the game caries on till all the chocolate has gone

Carys' Baptism.

 Well, the time came finally that we could baptize Carys and it came just before numbers of those that could congregate were once lessened due to covid. 

Also, there is one more thing that stuck me - struck me to the core and I shed a few tears. Carys is the last of my children to be baptized! I'll never get to do this again. Mind you I never thought I would get to have more children to baptize after my divorce. But - here I am writing about Carys' baptism. Child #7, daughter #6.

And to top it off! I'm turning 50 this month! ARGH. Where on earth did the time go :/

Anyway, back to Carys. This is all about her, not me. ( maybe a tiny bit about me - the mam ;)

Carys was so excited. It is wonderful to see the joy in her eyes and little nervousness about going underwater. Carys and her sister, Seren were learning to swim, Seren can, Carys was still wary about going underwater. But I have to say, Carys did great. 

And she was even more excited afterward as she had to get dunked twice lol as her foot decided to pop out of the water LOL in her own words - How cool was that I got to be baptized twice :)<3

It was a very short and sweet service ( covid regulations), but we had a little get together back home in our backyard. It was lovely to have dear friends and some family to help Carys celebrate this special day for her.

AS per usual, I had to make Carys' day just as I did for Seren. Which, I had decided to keep everything I used for Seren's. 

The theme was - I love to look for rainbows. :)

Beautiful Day

Spring is most definitely in the air but it feels more like summer time that we'd get back home in, Wales, Great Britain.

Happy 4th Birthday Carys

Our sweet youngest daughter turned 4 yesterday.

It only seemed like yesterday she was this tiny in my arms!

4 years old! Can you believe it? I can't -- time has flown by.

Carys woke to be given an original piece of artwork and a gift from her big sister, Seren.

Then it was time for school and for Carys to choose her birthday cake.

After a busy day of playing with her new toys and when daddy got home from work we all went to a local restaurant for dinner, then came home for Carys to open her gifts from us and have birthday cake.

After a fear tears from Seren, Carys kindly gave her sister a go of her new scooter.
