This year Faith's birthday fell on a Thursday and as the school decided to have 2 inset days on the Thursday and Friday of that week I had made plans. As a surprise for her birthday we were giving her, her own bedroom. So Spence had taken Wednesday off and he and his Dad were redecorating her room while she was at school.

We were then going to head down to my parents for a long weekend. On Thursday we were heading into London to do the Natural History and the Science museums while they would be quiet during school time. We were then heading to Hamley's, on to see the Christmas lights and on to the London Eye. Then meeting up with Auntie Kathy (Faith's birthday buddy as her birthday is the day before) for dinner. Then on Friday to the London Temple to see the Nativity and Saturday on to our friends little boy's birthday party. It was going to be a fun filled weekend until, the snow hit. Can you believe it. The South East of England was hit with such a snow storm that my parents couldn't get to the garage at the end of their garden. So after some VERY QUICK re thinking, we went to see Father Christmas, shopping to buy her some new boots from Auntie Teresa and Auntie Becky. Then Bowling and dinner with our family up here in the evening. 
Just after Phoebe scored a strike :)
Not quite the day I was planning for her but she had a great day all the same.
My nan and mom redid my room one year for my birthday. It was such a fun surprise. I'm sure Faith will remember it for years to come! As for the snow part...what a great recovery you made!
ReplyDeleteGood job with the quick change of plans, plus you still got to do most of the London stuff last week anyway.
ReplyDeleteLoving the room too. x
