What a week! I feel like I need a nap that lasts about three business days to recover from Ellie's 18th birthday. I don’t think I’ve sat down properly since last weekend and even when I have my brain has still been whizzing about all the things I needed to do. It’s been all go preparing for her birthday and then celebrating. I think she’s officially been spoiled! She got everything she wanted and then some! She had so many lovely messages from family and friends and it really felt like one of those milestone birthdays that she'll remember forever. We had a lovely family meal out Friday night which was really nice and spent the evening at the pubs karaoke and then Saturday she was off into town with her friends. I gave her a long list of rules to stay safe and I am sure she stuck to them.
It was so strange last night, it just being Becky, Stu and I at home when Ellie was out with friends and then sleeping out. The house felt so different, almost too quiet! We made the most of it though treating ourselves to an Indian takeaway.
Now for a photo every day!

These pretty pink flowers appear in my garden around the same time every year which is surprising as they seem to come from nowhere. My plant Identifier says they are Grape Leaf Anemone.

Bank holiday and we were all at home which doesn’t happen too often these days so we decided to go out for lunch. It turned into such a lovely afternoon with good food, plenty of laughs and even some sunshine which seems rare considering it was a Bank Holiday!

Present wrapping day! Becky helped me get Ellie’s gifts all sorted. She had more presents than I realised, but she’s worth it. You only turn 18 once!

False nails! A little peek at Ellie’s style. If it’s black it’s usually hers! These are definitely very Ellie.

Stu and I spent 2 hours putting up birthday decorations. This one was my favourite. Awesome Since 2007!

Just an 18 year old loving her balloons and loving life!

Ellie was very surprised with her dressing table and Stu put the seat together last night, so far so good and is putting the dressing table together today.
