Weekend Celebration

A beautiful weekend filled with love, in celebration of Fathers.   As always when we all get together there is lots of fun, games and laughter and of course a little crafting.   Two of our daughters came home with their families, Amie Friday/Saturday and Lucy Saturday/Sunday.  My brother visited and stayed with our parents so it was nice to catch up.

We have been planning a trip to Florida for awhile with our youngest daughter Lucy and her family, we finally booked over the weekend.  The girls were beside themselves with excitement and all talk was about Mickey, princess's and parades.  The crafting session became Disney orientated as you can see.

 
Princess wands...
 
 
Mickey mouse wooden spoon puppets...
 
 
Fantasia hats...
 




 
Sun hats...
 
We braved it on the village green in between showers for our fish and chips picnic, but unfortunately didn't make it to the beach due to a heavy rain shower.  We were once again quite hardy and sat in the garden for a barbeque.



 
Fathers day celebrations were wonderful with such a fuss made over their Daddies, it was lovely to watch the little ones so proud of their little gifts and home made cards.
 
 
My sweet husband was spoiled by everyone, it was lovely to watch him misty eyed remembering days gone by when our own daughters where little and making you tea with cold tap water and bringing you soggy cereals.  Such happy days!!!!
 
 

 
Lots of lovely memories to treasure of special family moments.
 
 
This made me smile, Mickey the dog sat watching Lily's every mouthful knowing that the moment no one was looking Lily would be feeding him under the table, happy times!!!  Did you make some great memories to treasure over the weekend?
 
See you soon.

    happy father's day and how nice you were all together overlapping, the best kind of visiting so you can have time alone with each family, hopefully. Glad you have your disney trip all planned out!

    We live in Georgia and visit Florida a couple of times a year, but we've never been to Disneyworld. Hope you have a fun trip.

    well, we went whale watching on Friday so that was fun. Ate too much. We went in the evening for dinner at our new Panera Bread. Phil was happy to be at home since he has been working quite a bit of over time lately. Have a good holiday in Florida. Sound fun! Take care, my friend. Now it's off to drink a cup of tea! ;0}

    Hello Lorraine! What a lovely time you had at the weekend with your family! They look so happy! Love the kids' straw hats! I bet they won't be able to sleep for excitement soon!!! And your BBQ photos make me nostalgic! Whilst in England we also had them, even in the cold spring/summer weather sometimes. I was just saying the other day, we really should have a BBQ here in Belgium soon.... ;)
    Have a good week!
