We have been celebrating Our Boy's 15th birthday this weekend.
Initially, he felt he didn't have 'time' for a birthday party as he was busy revising for the exams...
but he was still pleased when some of his friends and neighbours joined us for tea & cake plus a bottle of 'bubbly' on Sunday afternoon.
:-)
The Professor took him out for a couple of hours in the middle of the day and I wizzed round and decorated the garden and moved the dining table into the garden.
Superstrong mum!
They were both very surprised when they returned...!

However, 2 minutes before the guests arrived the rain started...
We had to grab it all and run in to set up the table inside!
Our Boy gets to choose his own cake(s) every birthday

And next weekend he is having some friends over for a sleepover as exams are then officially over!
There will probably be more baking on the cards for me, I think.
It is not bad being15...

I was thinking we are coming to an end of the cake eating season...
Actually, no there are more celebrations to come later in the month!
High time to put some extra sessions in at the gym, I think!

Gratulerer med bursdagsbarnet...så deilig å ha en god unnskyldning og flere for å spise kaker.....
ReplyDeleteSå synd at regnet kom og ødela opplegget....
Gratulerer så mye til sønnen i huset!
ReplyDeleteSynd at det begynte å regne - du hadde jo gjort det så fint ute i hagen.
Det er mye kakespising her i huset og for tiden, bursdagene står i kø:-) Tror neppe det blir hageparty her i morgen heller. Regn og atter regn...
Klem
Gratulerer med bursdagsbarnet!! Fristende meny!! AnneK:-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to him! It looks like you outdid yourself (again)! No rain for us for a few days, and then ... le deluge ... !!
ReplyDeleteGratulerer med sønnen i huset, ser ut som en fin bursdag. Så mye gode kaker du har laget da, jeg bare elsker Leila sin kokebok og Hummingbird cupcakes er såååå gode, synd at vi ikke har et slikt bakeri her i Norge asså. Ha en fin uke videre, klem NIna
ReplyDeleteHeisan du og gratulerer med bursdagsbarnet.
ReplyDeleteAng tapetbitene tenkte jeg å måle om en sjenk og bruke biter av tapet på speilet på skapdørene. Blir spennende å se. Ellers så kan man jo lage mye fint. F.eks kremmerhus, stjernepynt m.m.
Lykke til.

Gratulerer så mye med bursdagsbarnet! Ser ut til at alt var flott dekorert. Jeg fikk vann i munnen av alle kakene. Syns det var veldig søtt at han vil ha te :) Sier litt om hvor "british" han er :) Her i landet går det vel i brus i de fleste 15-årsdager tipper jeg! :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe... ja, na drikker ikke han faktisk ikke te, men heller vann med kullsyre - vi er blitt avhengige av det alle mann etter at vi fikk inn en slik maskin i huset. Men te (eller kaffe) smaker da best til kaker, synes na jeg! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGratulerer så mye med femtenåringen!
