Daddy goes snowboarding & Cala's b-day dinner

Daddy left for France bright and early this morning for two weeks of snowboarding so the little people and I are home alone. We had a busy day planned as Daisy had dancing this morning and Sam and I had to shop for supplies for Cala's birthday dinner this evening, I also had to fit in abit of admin for some corporate work.

It was a mad rush to get the table set and everything ready before our guests arrived. Tonights feast was American: ribs, chicken, homemade coleslaw, fries, corn and onion rings. Sam had made the marinade for the ribs and chicken yesterday and they have been sitting in our fridge getting nice and tasty. Everybody had to wear something red and Sam chose to dress up as Father Christmas.

Our guests arrived and first up was present opening, after a little entertainment from the little people dinner was served. Cala had alway like the way Simon Cowell had his face on the plates at his birthday party... so if Simon Cowell has it then Cala can have it, no expense spared!

After our feast there was cracker pulling, balloon modelling, joke telling, balloon fighting - Aunty Jo is to blame for that one! Finally the little people were put to bed just after 10pm and the last guest left just before midnight. Happy days.
