on the 29th of october my family and I celebrated my dad's 70th birthday. we surprised him by going to brighton for the day. we organised a private "party" in the choccywoccydoodah bar du chocolat, which was literally chocolate drink/food and nothing else, which suited us all perfectly. we spent 2 hours in the cafe and then we had a 5 minute tour of the upstairs of the choccywoccy shop, which is shown on tele in the programme. it probably doesn't sound like anything special, but my dad getting to spend time with his wife and 7 children made it even better. I also got to meet the newest addition to the family, who is my 3 month old niece Drew. It was a fantastic day and I hope my dad enjoyed it as much as the rest of us did. we're also having a surprise birthday party for him the weekend after next, which should be great as he'll get to see the family and his dearest friends.
I honestly cannot believe it is november already! my little brother will be 15 on the 5th and my big brother will be 19 on the 19th! it's crazy how time has flown by the older i've got. so much is happening in these last weeks of the year which'll no doubt make it all go a 100x faster.
here are a few photos from my dad's birthday :-)
