Weekend in Style

Straight after arriving back from our honeymoon was a BBQ at the Ronzano's in Peterborough. I was up early to bake a brownie to take with us and we headed up the a47 to meet Vito and Becka (that is a whole other story...) in the town centre. After a yummy lunch in town, we went back for the enormous barbeque that was waiting for us. 

With delights such as a whole leg of prosciutto, a whole range of Italian treats on top of the usual BBQ cuisine. My goodness, it was one heck of a feast and fantastic company to boot.

 Another busy day on Sunday, up early baking two Chocolate Roulades and painting a card for baby Alistair's thanksgiving service. Another afternoon spent nattering away to friends old and new!

The Christening of Chloe-Lea

 Today we had the honour of attending the christening of the littlest member of our family, Chloe-Lea.

The Christening of Isaac Mark

Today we were present at the Christening of Issac Mark Stephenson. Anna and Sam have been such close friends of ours for a long while now, and we had been so looking forward to Isaacs special day. Mr Bee was especially excited for the party afterwards, probably because there would be cake and balloons!

Our Gift, I hope they like it! Star themed to match the day

We offered to help out with anything they needed, Anna said she needed a cheese based food for the buffet, so Mr Bee and I rustled up some tasty cheese twists. He really is so good at helping when it comes to baking. Maybe he will be a pátisser when he is grown?

Mr Bee met his friend Amy for the second time at the Christening. Amy's Mummy, Katie is Anna's best friend who she met at University. Katie, Dan, Amy and Baby Roberta live in Lincoln so we only really see them when there is a party on (see Anna's Baby Shower) however I hope that this changes.

Amy and Louie got on so well, they played so nicely together and were totally inseparable!

We saw Nade, Paul and Evangeline, but sadly no Emmanuel as they were jetting off to America after the service and didn't want to tire him out too much, perfectly understandable if you ask me!

Best dress on!

We headed over to the party venue for a beautiful buffet and a good natter with all the family. The room was just right, cosy but not too small! Mr Bee and Amy were again, inseparable. Papa Bee really did make a friend, as Amy wanted to sit on his knee most of the afternoon!!

How cute!

Funny Faces!

Thank you so much Anna and Sam, for letting us be a part of Isaacs special day :) I hope you like the photos and I am sorry that I didn't take more!

The Christening of Sophie-Mae

Today we all got together at Saint Andrews Church for the Christening of my niece, Sophie-Mae. It was another beautiful day, perfect for the special little lady.

Sophie-Mae



Louie and I in the church, we did get some funny comments about the toddler wearing!

 It was a lovely service, Sophie-Mae was a little star, so quiet and well behaved. So was Mr Bee, he had a really long sleep in my arms, soothed by the singing of the hymns.

Sophie-Mae and Nana

 After the service, we retreated to Martin and Beccy's 'local' for the little party. Mr Bee was proving to be very restless after his lovely sleep, which is so out of the ordinary for my bright little boy. We had lots of fun meeting all the families and also seeing Katie and Kayleigh from Nursery!

Louie and Emily

 Because Mr Bee was so restless, I thought it a good idea to take him to the park across the road to cheer him up a little. Emily came with us too. It was lovely to go to the park that I used to go to when we lived in our old house, about 16 years ago. It certainly brought back some memories.

 They had a lovely time playing together. We walked back and had our photographs taken with the family then headed home, as Mr Bee was clearly suffering. It was getting very hot and he has four teeth coming through. After moaning in discomfort all the way home, he finally fell asleep with me in the garden

I hope Sophie-Mae, Martin and Beccy had a wonderful day celebrating the baptism, as I know we all had a lovely time :)
