celebratories
today we went to my parentals, with the noobs, to have a bit of a birthday lunch for me since tuesday is a write-off. hoorah!
i had tried to make things nice and easy (ish) for my mum by requesting only dim sims, to which she added fried rice. as we arrived we discovered james had added his own request of sizzling steak (which i also love but hadn't asked for).
so what a tops lunch! my mum is clever mum.
then we hung around for a while chatting, eating skittles, and watching howie throw james' iphone across the room as he played bowling (whoops!).
at about 3pm my grandparents, and later auntie sue, came over for afternoon tea. an exciting surprise was that my grandma had gotten her eternity ring off in one piece, and was giving it to me today - part birthday celebration, part first child having. and all free for howie. he hasn't had to pay for any of my wedding related rings. nice form.
but it's a lovely ring. was given to her by my granny, who had it made out of another ring, so i think the story goes.
so my wedding band looks all the more plain now, but the eternity ring goes well with my engagement one (which was also grandma's)
thanks grandma!
