Birthday Celebration

Ok, so I was really not looking forward to my birthday this year - without all you wonderful people around it just didn't feel right to be getting one year older. I did have my moms visit to look forward to though. I must say that having mom around has been absolutely fabulous. So I had to document her arrival in the UK.

So after fetching mom from the airport sat morning we got to spend the weekend together and even though my birthday was on mon we pretended it was sun and had a good ol' South African braai, with boerewors and biltong and even some Wonderboom. The weather was suprisingly beautiful even though it had been threatening to be a dreadfully miserable and rainy day. Below you can see mom and daughter reunited.

Then of course what is a birthday without presents? I definitely felt VERY spoiled and special. Thanks to all my wonderful friends. As you can see in the pic I did not know where to start, I was majorly overwhelmed - but no complaints. I ma scared to list all the wonderful things I got cos you might all decide that I am too spoiled and I might not get anything next year. ;)

I really had a great birthday and can not thank all of you enough for all the thoughts and best wishes that you sent. A special thanks to Glen and Colleen for letting me use their place for the braai.

I have also included a bunch of random photo's of all the peeps at the braai for you to have a look at. I thought it might be boring with just me and me mum in the pics.
