And today? It's Kelly's turn.
And when a younger sibling turns 50 there's only one thing to do:
Cook bacon . . .
(I told you he looks good in a dress!)
. . . and put out a spread . . .
. . . and wrap some presents . . .
. . . and invite some butterflies over . . .
. . . oh and some friends, too.
We had a lovely time celebrating The Big Occasion . . .
. . . and Mumsie's Big Day is right on the heels of this one.
Family . . .
. . . Friends . . .
. . . and walking distance neighborfriends . . .
Mumsie busted a move out to The Field but we reined her in.
It was a gorgeous day . . .
. . . the food was fabulous . . .
. . . if I do say so myself. And I do, I do.
Bubbly was flowing . . .
. . . and no Big Birthday is complete without a Fruit Tart.
Or a couple.
"No, thanks. I don't need help. I've got them all."
The Birthday Girl was pretty happy with the way the festivities played out . . .
. . . and we were happy to host such a Momentous Occasion.
What's a 50th Birthday without Fruit Tart or photo bombing?
Happy Birthday, Kelly!
Welcome To The Club.

Well done!! You and your photographer captured the whole shebang beautifully! (So what else is new?)
XoXo- with love from your "other" sister-in-law, on the upper floors!
Wow, this is truly so lovely! I mean, not everyone gets the butterflies dropping in to wish them happy 5-0. Or has a double fruit tart. (I'm almost looking forward to 50 if I get one of those on the big day!) Or has such a beautiful setting. I love that shot of Mumsie out in the field.
Oh, and the bubbly, and the food, and the friends, and the family, and the neighborfriends? AND the presents?!? (Ellie, that photo of you being the present fairy is the BEST!).
Is that camera from Mistah??
Lovely party, indeed.
Happy 50th, Kelly!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all. I loved my day, thoroughly, and it completely knocked me out, in more ways than one! The host and hostess (B&E) were fantastic, as were my family for some mind boggling gifts: a Fitbit (in early July to start using) from R&J, and Beth, the tear inducing camera was from B,E and M(umsie). It blows me away, not to be 50, but that my family, friends and B&E's neighborfriends come together to celebrate...me! Thank you all again. And you know it's a great party when it's a brunch at 11:00 a.m. and I got home at 9:00 p.m.! Love you all. ~Kells.
Looks like a great time was had by all! Happy Birthday Kelly!

Thanks, Jacquie and Mom Corey! Really great time and Ellie and Bill were, as usual, the perfect hosts!
