Georgie helped to do the very important job of Signage! The balloons were put up at the front gate so everyone knew we were having a party, and there could be loud music into the night. Well, they are really there so guests know which driveway to turn into, but hey, a secondary message can be a good thing between neighbours.
The cake was made by a friend and was waiting and ready. It has been a tradition with our little family that the 21st birthday cake reminds them of their lineage (well on one side anyhow). And the decorations are handed down to the next in line. Decoration here is with both ancient and modern Davidson tartan ribbon, and inherited icing thistles. If only I had remembered the 21 candles!
Boys however don't worry about small details, so we pushed on with the celebration, and the food.
Peggy and Rick bbq'd. I should introduce our theme here--guests were asked to come dressed as something starting with 'T' in honour of the birthday boy. So with an actual bib that had been Tim's and a lifesize baby photo mask, Rick came as baby Tim accompanied by Peggy who was also sporting a Tim mask and dressed as 'Tim'perbell.
