Hugh's surprise 70th birthday party hosted by David, Tina, Nancy & Ian (his 2 kids and favorite son-in-law & daughter-in-law) was held in the private dining room at Casanova by the Sea, one of Hugh's favorite restaurants. As the sun set over the George Town Harbour, the guests started arriving. The party goers mingled and enjoyed bellinis and canapes, and watched a wonderful DVD that Nancy had made documenting Hugh's life from birth in Scotland to Grandparenthood in Cayman. Hugh and Angela's dear friends, Helen and Alastair Mirrlees (pictured above with Nancy) flew in from Canada to surprise Hugh, as did his niece, Dara, from Jamaica. Hugh arrived to much SURPRISE!! and then the party truly got underway. The four grandchildren stopped by to surprise Grandpa with a rendition of "Happy Birthday To You" -- they were adorable and performed liked angels. Dinner under the stars at the country-themed tables was delightful. Each table depicted a country in which Hugh lived : Scotland, England, Jamaica, Bahamas, (then back to Jamaica) and Cayman. Fabulous dinner and mushy, heartfelt speeches followed by dancing rounded out the evening. Hugh held up well for an almost 70 year old (actual birthday, May 20th), closing the restaurant at midnight. It was a night of wonderful memories surrounded by family and friends.
Steven hosted Mother's Day brunch at The Club. 15 of us enjoyed dining in the private dining room, including his mother, Aunt Sonia and Rachel's Mum who were all visiting for the weekend, and his brother, Scott, and family. It was a wonderful mother's day and a great cap to the festive weekend.
A perfect spring day in Duluth, Georgia for my goddaughters first holy Communion. The service was beautful, and the reception afterwards hosted by Rachel & Steven at their home was warm with love, and filled with happiness and joy. Rebecca even gave a very grown up and touching speech thanking everyone for being a part of her special day. The kids and I flew to Georgia for the weekend for this special event.
