Happy 'twenty something' birthday mummy...

Birthday’s are special in our family. My mum and dad always made the biggest effort to make Emma’s and my birthdays memorable. They were full of our favourite events and favourite foods, we had the front seat on the way to school and the day was absent of chores and discipline, (on reflection, it must have been Emma’s birthday everyday – joke Pemmy!)! But, the thing I love most about celebrating birthday’s in the Gibbs household, is that everyone in the family has a fabulous day.…, right down to the dog! We are all involved one way or another which means we got 4 birthday’s every year! And, it is this last wonderful memory, that Dale and I want to create with Jude!

My ‘twenty something’ birthday fell on a Saturday this year which means one thing, Dale had to work - poor Dale : ( So, our lovely friends Rach, Brad, Baby Henry and Beck spoilt Jude and I by taking us out to their beach house at Keppel Sands. We were all off to a slow start after being out for bday cocktails and dinner the night before, however, the 30min drive made us more lively with a Wiggles rendition going on in the back of the car (nice singing Jude)!

We spent the morning having tea and coffee on the back deck, followed by a lovely beach session where the two boys turned it on for the camera. Then it was back to the house where the toddlers had some lunch, and then Brad kindly babysat the boys while they slept, and we had a lovely lunch at the nearby café. When we arrived home, daddy had decorated the house in pink balloons which Jude (and mummy for that matter) thought were amazing! There were two cakes, lots of chocolate, some happy birthday songs, dancing and lots of kisses and cuddles from Jude and Dale.

An amazing day, can’t wait for the next one….., Dale turns 35!!
