My Baby is 21!!!

My gorgeous son Dylan turned 21 recently. The 9lb 12ounce chubby baby is now a lean 6ft 3plus!!
 He has a love of history, especially Australian war. Hence a big fan of MASH!! So the theme for the family get together became a war/mash theme. I bought an old atlas and his girlfriend printed the font onto it for the sign above. I think it turned out great.
  A MASH inspired table with war time print outs was the table setting.
   A great family shot - Dylan hates having his photo taken, as you can see.
  Dylan and the 'girls' in his life - Lauren (his sister), me, and Kelly (his girlfriend)
 With his Papa (my Dad). Dylan is a gentle, caring soul, with a great memory recall and very intelligent for his age - no I am not biased!!
                                                            With his Nana (my Mum)
 Hi 21st party was at the Oxford Hotel in Adelaide. This is before we left the hotel - we all stayed at the Crown Plaza. I finished the night off at 3.30am - Dylan was in bed before 2am!
                                                     At dinner before the party
 Posing for a pic in between dancing. I spent the majority of the night dancing as did most of us - a lot of fun!
Showing his friend Zac (his old flatmate) a move or two - or was he showing me!!?? My dress was long, but by then it was hitched up as the night was so warm - very classy! I am just about ready to post about the newly painted bookcase - a long awaited project I posted about a while ago.
Hope you have all had a great weekend.

  2. You've got to love a good 21st and this looks like a great one. Congratulations to your handsome son...and don't apologise for being biased about your kids...in my book it's mandatory! I had a big baby who's now 6'3" as well :)

  15. I have just had a catch-up of your blog and it seems I've missed all the action... 2 birthdays, furniture makeovers and great scores on ebay. I must visit more regularly but you know how it is!

  18. Hi Rebecca - Looks like it was a lot of fun! We're still surrounded by snow and no sign of stopping. I'll be doing some white cushions for Teesh shortly, so I'm sure one or both of us will keep you posted if you're still interested in some - Melissa :))
