Happy Birthday Hayley!

Happy Birthday!! xxx

Happy Birthday Dad!



Yesterday was my Dad's 51st Birthday! He's had a tough year with being sick last April, so we were all thrilled to be celebrating him being happy, healthy and 51st this year.

We had a lovely homemade shephards pie for dins, then we made some pancakes for dessert, it was a bit of a disaster without my mom there to help us! We burnt a few and half fried some others but it was all good fun!





Sarah and I got him a new tree for the garden with bird seeding for the birdies! I hope he liked it.



We also had some cake and sang him Happy Birthday! I hope he really enjoyed his day, we're all heading to TGI's (his fav restaurant) on Friday night for more Celebrations!


Love you Dad!
Happy Birthday!
xoxo

Day trip to Powerscourt House



On Sunday my sister Sarah, and i took a trip to Powerscourt House & Gradens, Enniskerry. It was a beautiful sunny day! Although it was a bit cold, we made sure to wrap up nice and warm so we could take our time walking around the gardens, it really was beautiful!










After our walk, we had Lunch in the Avoca tearooms in Powerscourt House, they have the most amazing food.
We walked off a bit of lunch strolling around the shops and brought home some Avoca treats for Sunday afternoon.


We also took a quick peek into the Ritz on the way in, the Hotel looks amazing!










All in all, it was a fantastic Sunny Sunday!
