80TH BIRTHDAY and FIRST GRANDCHILD

Another "0" Birthday in our family for 2018, My Mum turned 80 on Monday 10th December, 2018. We celebrated with a Birthday lunch on Saturday 8th December, 2018.
There were 8 siblings in my Mum's family, Mum being the 3rd born and now the eledest as her 2 older Brothers have passed.  This photo is with the Eldest sister and the youngest sister, there is 15 years between them.  We celebrated with a home lunch and lots of memories shared. Youngest sister and her hubby live about 1-1/4 hours away from us and we invited them as a surprise, Mum was very surprised when they arrived.

                                                          This was the lunch spread

                             Mum with her huge Birthday cake, Stephen & me, Kate & Josh

                                     

2 days later Monday 10th December 2018, Kate gave birth to our first grand child, a baby boy named James Stephen born at 9.37am weighing 3,400 grams and 50cm long. Such excitement in the house waiting for the phone call, I literally jumped up and down with excitement exclaiming "I'm a Grandma, I'm a Grandma" and of course tears flowing.....
James Stephen Brazier was born 80 years after his Great Grandma, Mum is most excited.....
This is the first photo we received and had to wait an hour to find out if we had a grandson or a grand daughter.   Kate wanted to tell us so they face timed us once they were back in her room. Josh NEVER smiles in photos, his face looks like he caught the biggest fish in his life...….

40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

We celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary a week ago, Sunday 25th November, 2018.

So many said it wouldn't last, we dated for 7 months when we were married on Saturday 25th November 1978.  Many years after we were married my brother told me that several of my family members including my Mum and Dad sat around putting bets on how many years it would last.

So I think we came out the winners...……… 

This is a collage of a few photos of us over the years.

                                                  Stephen and I last Sunday at Kate's house

Rebecca and her boy friend cooked us a most delicious Lasagne for dinner, Kate did the salad....

                                       … and a small piece of cheese cake for dessert

Not long till we're first time grandparents.....

                                                                         Cheers
