GUESS WHAT I GOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY?!!!!!!

Guess what I got for my birthday?!!! Yep, you are looking at my new Canon 400D Digital SLR, the one that I have wanted for ages & ages - yay!! I have been out playing with the settings and the lenses - oh, so much fun!

Hubby had everything wrapped individually and it took 11 hours from the first strap until I received the whole thing! I was lead on a merry chase all day with notes and parcels hidden all over the place! The kids were in on it too and Gavin had given Daniel a list of when to give certain things and where they were, they had just as much fun as me, I think!

Lisa and Jo came over for afternoon tea and we enjoyed a hot chocolate and decadent cakes across the road at the Mill. mmmmm........chocolate.............

Went out to dinner with Julie & Noel on Wednesday evening, as they were going to be away on Saturday - down the road to the Carlisle, nice meal and we walked the calories off on the way home!

On Saturday night, went out again to the Seaton Hotel with everyone. It was packed, but a great meal. Took my new camera - of course!! Lisa and Kim had a go taking some photos - and wanted to put it in their bag to take home! Bought a scrumptious cake from Michele's for desert. A great night! Thanks for coming guys and helping me celebrate my birthday! I had a wonderful time - of course with family and friends around, how could I not?!
