The Big Birthday Weekend!

This is it!

The big birthday weekend in the Hollies' Household.

 Today my dad turns 70, which we are celebrating tomorrow ....

Happy Birthday Dad!
... and tomorrow no.2 daughter turns 13, which we are celebrating today! 

Butter wouldn't melt ...!
Happy birthday my lively one!
With me so far??

The young 'un has had friends sleeping (??) over last night, and then off to MacD's and the cinema later today!  

Tomorrow, we all pile down to my sister's for a joint birthday party.  I will be a quivering wreck by then as I will be handing over the Civil War quilt I made for dad, with contributions from all the family.


No one else in the family has seen the finished quilt yet, apart from my hubby and kids of course!  So it will be a big reveal for all of the family gathered together.  

Sadly my brother and his family won't be there as they live in England.  But no doubt cameras will be snapping away and lots of pics downloaded and emailed.

I will bore you with pics of the special day after Sunday!

Have a great weekend!
