In 1981, my parents were hoping that their firstborn (me!) would make an appearance on Guy Fawkes’ night, commemorated on November 5. That never happened but bonfires have remained a popular English tradition in my family ever since. Despite being over a week late (due to conflicting schedules of over 10 persons) my father managed to get most of us together and on Sunday night we celebrated my belated birthday. Thanks dad!

This weekend, my baby boy turned three. We celebrated with a big bash and a dress up theme to go with. It was such a fun day with people turning up decked in their fancy costumes, faces painted, making me laugh so hard all day long with their antics. Honestly, I had the best time, so a big thank you to everyone who came. Despite the massive stress overload that comes with planning a big birthday party that included Barney showing up and making my baby’s face beam so brightly at the sight of the big pink dinosaur, it was all worth it. Excuse the overload of photos that is to follow but I need to post a few pictures of these awesome people.This will definitely be a day I will remember and smile. Happy third birthday, my sweet boy. x
This last photo breaks my heart because it reminds me how much my little boy suffered through the horrific flu epidemic that is flooring us here in Cyprus. You can see it on his face. Utter misery. I am however very happy to report that we have slowly but steadily made our way out of the fevers and vomit and preparing for Georgie’s third birthday party this weekend! Carnival celebrations are also in full swing here in Cyprus so our little party is going to be a dress up one!!! I am so excited for my little boy. A joyful celebration is exactly what we need to get the engines running.
