The house was packed and all the different children of my sister, cousins, friends etc and all played so well together. So great to have most of my favourite people together under one roof to celebrate our brave boy! He’s also been just a pleasure these past couple of days.

Loving the tartan- he looks so cute! The Dr Bronners almond soap is amazing, it just smells so good!
Yay to the party bet it was lovely to celebrate your little boy and I bet everyone was lining up for cuddles! X
Looks like a lovely party! glad you’ve had a good week with Finley :-) Two more weeks till we are on summer holiday here – counting down the days at school! … I need to try that pancake idea of yours – I have been trying to dial it up with my eating and exercising over the last week – no results quite yet (i fact the scales seemed to go the opposite way this week!) but I’ll keep at it! lucky I have you for inspiration ;-)
you look so adorable in your matching shirts Laura! so glad to hear Finley is feeling extra happy and you were able to celebrate his op success in style!
Love that outfit int he second pic! The boot/sock combo looks fab! Glad that things are going smoothly as well, what a relief after all the mayhem. And the photo of Finley and you matching looks very sweet.
