February has been a busy month and one special event was our eldest granddaughter's second birthday celebrations.
The actual birthday was on a Thursday and some of the family gathered at the playground at a local library for a little morning tea, some gift giving followed by Rhyme Time in the library. DH and I decided that we would give our gifts to the birthday girl that day...
Another 2 titles in the much loved 'hippo series' by Hazel Edwards as we knew how much Miss A loves 'There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake'!
To help act out the stories we added a lovely hippo puppet and a wooden High Tea set. ( forgot to take a photo of the latter, but it had lots of 'cakes' in the box! Lol
DsD2 said that the puppet would be a hit and later on sent us a photo of Miss A, napping with him/her 😍.
The big celebration was on the Saturday. The venue was Bunya Crossing Reserve which is situated on Bunya Creek, just north of our suburb. It's a very popular place for families, just like all the river and creek crossings where my generation would swim in the 50s and 60s...very few pools in those days!
And the bunting I made for A's first birthday had its second airing...( two photos of it merged into one)
I still wasn't very well, so settled myself into a chair and cuddled grandchildren...
The thoughtful birthday girl took time out to check on her baby cousin...
And of course every birthday party needs a birthday cake and DsD2 made a cute duck cake...
What a lovely way to celebrate a birthday!

Such a wonderful celebration.
Happy birthday to your little granddaughter
My granddaughter turned two last week. But we were away.
So we had a little party on our own, when she stayed here.
My but they do grow up fast
Sorry you are unwell, Maria. I well remember swimming in creeks when I was young. How lovely that you live close enough to your family to join in birthday celebrations.
What a lovely time. xx
What a perfect day ❤️❤️❤️
