We had another birthday ~ DD celebrated her special day on the 29th May. Hard to believe that it was 24 years ago, that our precious darling baby girl came into our lives. Thank you most beautiful one for making everyday special. We love you and want to wish you a great new year ahead.
Was lovely as she had a weeks holiday, from work, so there have been some fun shopping trips, lunches out, and a celebratory dinner.
It has been great spending time as a family.
I baked these chocolate cupcakes with raspberry icing and loved the little French toppers to add a little ooh la la!
Also we have been doing some more painting around the home - all slowly coming together and will share some pictures soon.
Seems to be like a stuck record but we are making progress.
Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes you sent me. I am so grateful for your friendship and kindness.
I am looking forward to coming to visit you, in the weekend and see how you all are.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
hugs
Carolyn
