It`s been a great weekend for socialising. On Saturday we went to the engagement party of our nephew Rob and his new fiancee Rachel. They are the perfect couple and I wish them all the best for the future, they are lovely people and deserve all the happiness life has to offer.
Kerry, Slava and Roman came with us but Danny couldn`t make it as he moved into his new flat on Saturday and just didn`t have the time. Roman looked very smart in his new shirt and jeans and had a great time on the dancefloor, first with me and our promised first dance and later with Slava and several young women ( 25 and over) who really took a shine to my little darling. How dare they!....lol! One girl told him he looked "Just like a little pop star in his designer shirt". I told him he was a lucky boy to be chatted up by the lovely ladies in their pretty dresses and he told me that "Your dress is pretty too Nana" Oh I did have a lump in my throat!
Posing in my new dress!
Kerry (hiding bump!) Jim and Roman all ready to go
Delicious looking and very tasty cupcakes and the engagement cake made by Rob`s mum, Jim`s sister Beryl.
More cupcakes....yummy!

Having a rest between dances. Roman`s drink of choice was apple juice, perfect for washing down the odd cupcake or two...lol!
Strutting his stuff on the dancefloor!
Flying high with Daddy!
By 11pm Roman started to slow up and eventually he came over to me and climbed on my lap. He said he was very tired and could we go back to my house now. I told Kerry and we decided to take him home. We had driven over in two cars and Jim and Slava stayed until the end of the evening, 2.30am to be precise. It was Jim`s turn to drive so he didn`t have a drink all evening, Slava on the other hand did...lol!
It didn`t take us long to get home and before we were halfway there Roman was snoring in his car seat. When we got home he didn`t wake uop and I had to carry him indoors and up the stairs to bed, not a easy task now he`s so big! Kerry and I got him into his pyjamas and into bed without even a murmur from him and we went downstairs and enjoyed a very welcome cup of tea. All in all it had been a thoroughly enjoyable evening though I`m sure they would be a few hangovers here and there...lol!
On Sunday we all had dinner together before Kerry, Slava and Roman all went home. Just then I realised that the house was silent, the first time for the last two weeks. It was heaven, I had my home back....! And also my fridge was full of cupcakes and with Jim not being allowed to eat them it left just me to do the dirty deed. Jim`s sister Beryl told Jim that she didn`t want them to go to waste and I can assure you, they didn`t....I couldn`t let that happen now could I???
Bye Bye for now. :o)

ReplyDeleteI love the color of your dress...very flattering! The cupcakes look delicious. I'm a sucker for cake, etc but never make it. I certainly don't need a whole one. I just can't get over how Roman is growing. Kerry should have stood up & showed off her baby bump! Sounds like you all had lots of fun, congratulating the happy couple.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteNow that my password seems to be working I'm catching up with reading (and writing) posts. It was lovely to see your photos again and to hear about the engagement party, I can't believe how grown-up Roman looks in his jeans and shirt, he's adorable, a handsome little boy, no wonder you're all so proud of him. You'll soon have his little sister to dote on too!
Thanks for the comments in my journal!
You have got a lovely figure Sandra, and not a 'batwing' arm in sight! Not fair.
ReplyDeleteKerry must be ready for popping soon isn't she? I hopy Danny's flat move went well.
love, Angie, xx
