Party time ...

Our third granddaughter Joanne's birthday is the day after her mum's and this weekend Sharon is 50 and Joanne is 21... 

so Saturday (9th November) was party time ...

Sharon and Joanne

We had an absolute blast, meeting up with family and friends, lots of noise, dancing and fun until late!

These photos are not the best ... they're stills from a video taken by our son Mark ... but you'll get the drift of the evening ...

Sunday (10th) was our beautiful daughter Sharon's actual 50th birthday ... and present opening day for both of them ...

Sharon with a wide-eyed Dave waiting for everyone to gather before opening those presents

and Joanne who has waited patiently for mum to finish opening presents and cards before she starts on her own collection.  Joanne's birthday is tomorrow (Monday 11th) but there are no pictures of her actual day because ... she was jetting off to Rome ... a lovely surprise present from her boyfriend Bryan.
