The last few days have been focused on family and it's been wonderful. James has been home for a few days and made the most of his time... fishing and motorbiking with his dad!
My Mum has been home also for a few days and we had a BIG family get together at my Dads....
My Dad... ever the entertainer... amazed us all (including himself) with this trick dropping the ice cube into the drink... and it actually made it in without spilling a drop...he he!
Me, my boys and my sister enjoying Dads barbecue immensely...
My gorgeous brother and sister in-law!
Me and my Mum...
Such a great night... so much laughter and fun... so much hugging and kissing!!!

The following night we all went into West End to the Greek restaurant, Ouzeri, and had dinner for James 21st birthday and also to wish him "Bon Voyage" for his trip next week. It was the best night as there was so much family able to attend. Many of us are spread all over the country these days, so it was perfect timing to have so many of us there.
Another fun night!
There was 24 of us, so you can imagine our one long table. A lot of my family and my husbands family haven't seen each other for years, so it was wonderful to all get together again.
It was great to see everyone chatting and telling "Remember when..." stories.

The food was delicious...We had the Greek banquet and food just kept appearing on the table.......
Of course the deserts were divine... Baklava!!!
It was a truly wonderful night and my face is still aching from all the laughing and smiling!I love my family!!!
It's been a crazy, hectic few days... but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like you have been having the most perfect time. I love the photo where James photo bombed. The look on all your faces is just priceless. That photo has definitely captured a joyful moment in time.
These are such precious family photos. So great for James to have so many extended family at his 21st, and a wonderful way to send him off for his next adventure. When does he leave? Wish him all the best for a wonderful time in UK from me, please.
