My Daughters 13th Birthday Party!

Adrian — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:01:33 +0000

No weddings this weekend, kept this one intentionally free as it was my daughters (Courteney) 13th Birthday Party.. As it’s a little of a milestone for her becoming a teenager we decided to throw a disco for her in the local village hall and 2 of her friends who also turned 13 this weekend. Myself and the other parents have been planning this and working towards it for some time.
I in particular have been loving it as it was an excuse for me to buy more toy’s in the form of lighting as i was nominated as DJ for the night . Thankfully there was no microphone involved but a playlist consisting of mainly the entire top40, an Apple Laptop, a little lighting i treated myself to and an awesome soundsystem consisting of SubWoofers etc brought down all the way from London by a family friend of Bluebell (one of the other birthday girls).
We also had an amazing cake which was made by a friend, and past bride who’s wedding i photographed, Dawn. This is not a one of, you have to become a fan of her facebook page, she has some amazing creations.. Party balloons and banners were all done by the 3rd birthday girl’s (Rhiannon) mum. Topping the decor off Bluebell’s mum, assisted by her friend Cleo, created some amazing neon artwork for the walls which we lit with UV lights . Here’s some pics from their party

A De-Stress weekend in Wales

Took the family away this weekend for a de-stress at the Lake Country House & Spa in the heart of Wales. This place is one of the top 5 Hotels throughout Wales and it’s easy to see why – it’s amazing, it’s situated just north of the Brecon Beacon’s and the perfect place to get away from it all and relax. If you need some time out and to escape with ooodles of pampering then this is the place.

Our Family Holiday in Egypt..

Returned from our family holiday at Naama Bay, Egypt this morning at 5am! Apart from a mix up with our Visa’s (They forgot to endorse them with a stamp at the airport) stopping us from visiting the Pyramids at Cairo we had a great time. With temperatures around 44 – 46 during the week we found it a little too hot but enjoyable non the less. We took the kids out on a few excursions such as quad biking and Camel rides into the desert, Snorkeling, boat trips etc and they had a great time. Here’s some of our photos from the trip….
