It looked like my birthday was going to be a bit of a non event this year. But I was wrong! On the actual day the girls, one son in law and I were driving from country Victoria to Melbourne airport. Our brunch stop was in Ballarat and we found a lovely cafe in a homewares store and there DD2 bought me breakfast...delicious!
Originally I had planned a birthday brunch here in Brisbane at a friend’s cafe but this had had to be cancelled. My darling stepdaughters organised a birthday dinner for me when I arrived home late Saturday afternoon instead.
DH had bought me a new wheelbarrow as a gift and it was the perfect spot to prop #5 granddaughter while we had dinner 😆!
On the Monday it was Miss Holly’s birthday. DD2, Holly and I went out for morning tea. No cake but a babycino and a profiterole for the birthday girl...
May 2019 was the celebration of a special birthday for DH...one of those birthdays ending in a zero 😉😄. On a weekend that suited all the family we gathered at Bribie Island.
The birthday cake made by DsD2 was magnificent!
Mind you she had some help with the final touches...😍
And then those little helpers helped Grandpa blow out the candles...
Finally on the last Sunday of May, Miss Holly had her birthday party.
The cake was made by a Filipino lady and was a purple yam cake...it was so light and delicious.
There was also a unicorn piñata which defied all the thumping that the children gave it! 😄
One of DD2’s friends took pity on the children and using brute strength she ripped the tag to open that unicorn 🦄.
In another post I’ll write more about our week up at Bribie. Next family birthday celebration is in 7 days...DH’s brother. I guess it means another cake 🎂 lol.

The main course was from my freezer 😉😜 but DsD2 made me a special birthday cake which was delicious.

ReplyDeleteBest month of birthdays ever lol
ReplyDeleteNow to work those calories off. Before the next round of birthdays
You have been deliciously busy. Hapoy birthday. June is a huge birthday month here, including mine. Glad you enjoyed the Provincial in Ballarat. Beaing a local, hubs and I have been there a few times too.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because I only just discovered there was a cafe in that place a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for the bookshop that used to be on that corner (it has moved to the next street over) and noticed the cafe upstairs. I might have to actually go in there some time!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a happy birthday, and lots of lovely family birthday occasions too.
Lots of fun and happy celebrations to be seen here. A rather belated happy birthday. I did smile at the photo of your granddaughter resting in the wheel barrow.
ReplyDeleteI think I gained 10 lbs just looking at those cakes!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to celebrate birthdays.
