Family times

There are two grandchildren who have birthdays this month - back to back. One is turning 3 on Sunday and the other turns 6 on Monday. Parties quite often take place at my house. Yesterday after school, there was a birthday celebration with a dance party in my basement complete with strobe lights and lots of singing along with the music. All 12 grandchildren who live close by were there - even the youngest one who is just 6 months old. At one point, she was the centre of attention and they all gathered around her.

Family. They all get along - ages 6 months to 10 years. The dance party was a huge success. Missing are the two oldest grandsons (aged 12 and 14) who are in the Maritimes with their mom completing their cross country trip. They will be here in a couple of weeks for a few days and then we can have a photo with all the grandchildren.

  1. What a delight to have them all there, and the older ones to be there soon. I will say since our Grandson was in British Columbia, I have learnt more about Canadian areas than ever before. Even The Maritimes is familiar by name. And he will be here also in a few weeks, he has returned to NZ and will be based in Wellington, a 2 hour drive, rather than a 13 hour flight.!!! Strobe lights, what a change from when I was that age. Crepe paper and balloons maybe
