My 3?th Birthday

Well, I myself had to think how old I was going to be on this special day... Surely we didn't need to celebrate it as it only meant I was getting even older! But my lovely boys were all excited and wanted to make the day very special so we had a little celebration.

I felt like putting on something small so we ended up having a few friends around for an afternoon tea.



Earlier in the day Matthew and the boys baked me a signature "rose" shaped chocolate cake:

I was lucky to have lots of friends around in the middle of the day:





Oliver was so excited to have so many friends at his place at once:







My wonderful girlfriends (+Shem):



As you guessed the afternoon tea sort of turned into a guys drinking session but we weren't really prepared for it so shortly after we ran out of drinks!

I was very spoiled and got some lovely gifts. My boys gave me a new Pandora bead - a kiwi!



I got some pretty flowers, spa vouchers, a cheeseboard and some yummy smelling body care products! I also got a lot of kind wishes from my friends (thanks to FB) from all over the world!! (I truly appreciate having so many international friends).

Ashley even gave me a surprise by rolling over for the first time!



Thank you everyone for making my day very special. I had a great time :)

For us Roses this will be it for this year, next one will be Ashley's first birthday (having all the kids ones within 5 weeks makes the rest of the year quite empty).  So I can now concentrate on Halloween and Christmas!
