A birthday weekend in Luxembourg

Thought some of you out there might like to see some pics of our surprise birthday weekend in Luxembourg. It was dad's 70th birthday and as a surprise we managed to get 6 of his 7 grandchildren together. We had Stephen's kids Flora and George over from the UK; Kenneth's daughter Lisa, and her brother Michael, made the trip from Germany; and my three Kaylen, Lia and Rafael joined in the fun here at home in Luxembourg. And if you're wondering, yes, Lia is indeed sporting a colourful cast, having just broken her wrist in a rollerskating incident...

Happy Birthday Papi/Tati! Kaylen is holding a photo of Alex, the only missing grandchild. Hopefully next time, we'll manage to get them all!

Obviously the excitement was too much for one 70 year old man!


Afternoon activities included some ping pong in the garden...

...and a rainy visit to the Celtic Festival in town, where we caught up with Obelix (the rain meant that we had to wrap Lia's cast in a plastic bag so that it wouldn't get wet).

We then went out for a lovely big family dinner:




And one last photo of us in the garden the next morning (minus Andrés, Lisa and Michael):


And one very last one, just because:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATI!

Fabulous pictures - looks like a lot of fun. Have just spent far too long (as I should be working) gazing at all the faces and tracing the resemblance. Wonderful.

What super photos, thank you Karen. Like Victoria, I too have been tracing family likenesses and there are lots. So glad Tati/Papi's birthday was such a success
