Reasons to be Cheerful the birthday edition #R2BC

Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

Birthdays definitely have to be one of the biggest reasons to be cheerful and having 2 within 48 hours makes this a fab week! Here is what made us smile about them:

1) Family Night Out

On Saturday night we went out as 3 generations to a ceilidh that was raising funds for a young member of our church to go on World Challenge to Malaysia with his 6th form.

It was an organised chaos night with everyone having a great laugh and dancing the night away:

2) Family Breakfast

My birthday started with breakfast with 5 of my closest family at a local hotel. It was a lovely relaxed affair and a great way to kick of my day:

It was lovely being spoiled with some home grown roses too:

3) Birthday Fun

After a couple of trips to collect a replacement high sleeper for my daughter from Arnside I joined my children at the Kendal Wool Gathering at K Village:

Then we headed over to Sizergh Castle. After completing the Woodland Play Trail the children made use of new pond dipping nets to have fun at the pond:

Then a game of hide and seek in the rock garden:

And of course cake in the cafe:


4) Family Sunday afternoon

We then went to my parents' house for Sunday dinner and some beginner knitting:


And helping granddad construct the birthday present they gave him:

5) Big girl birthday

Then Monday was my daughter's 10th birthday she made her promise and is now an official Guide:

6) Not forgetting..

It's not his birthday but my son gave us a reason to smile by being elected as year rep on to the school council. His first taste of responsibility at 6 3/4!
