A Very Special Day


Yours truly and the officially grown up Holly - I am not ashamed to admit that I did have a bit of a wobble when I saw this picture!

Yesterday, the 15th December was a day of much celebration. My darling daughter Holly reached 18 years of age. I cannot really add much to this other than to say how proud and blessed SWMBO and I have been by her and that whilst as parents you always hope your children can learn from you I can safely say that I have learned much from her in return.

I also learned a valuable lesson in computers as I set up her present from SWMBO and I - a Macbook Pro - in that using Apple is so easy after Windows!

The celebratory sombreros courtesy of Pancho's Cantina will feature in a separate post....;-)

So in closing - to my beautiful, witty, intelligent, considerate Holly, a very, very happy birthday!

    Congrats to Holly. And to you and the Mrs. - this is your best work!

    My 18 year old is off at Uni, and comes back in a week for Xmas.

    Cheers

    Congratulations indeed. That'll make a nice photo if you crop out that dodgy looking bloke...

    I know the feeling, My little baby girl, who was so small when she was born her legs didn't reach the legs of her newborn babygro, is now an eighteen year old, 5'8" tall, Kerrang magazine reading Astrophysics student.

    Happy birthday Holly!

    Gentlemen all,

    On behalf of Holly many thanks for all your good wishes. I still cannot get my head around the fact that 18 years have just flown by!

    For the record it was a shirt I was wearing and not a pyjama jacket....

    All the best,

    DC
