Dad's 60th Birthday

For my Dad's 60th birthday my parents threw a party at their house. Quite a lot of the family came, quite a number of which I didn't manage to get any shots of unfortunately. This rather random selection of shots shows some scenes, however, including some by the master photographer Alex (my nephew) himself!

Mum the Entertainer (1 of 2)

The problem with hosting any event, of course, is how to entertain the early arrivals. Fortunately my mum, being the consumate hostess, had it all sorted. Here we can see her realising Cath and Steve are looking a little bored... (View enlarged version for captions)

Mum the Entertainer (2 of 2)

... So she bursts into song to liven the mood - the looks of sheer awe on Cath and Steve's faces say it all.

Cath and Abigail

Irrespective of any birthday thing that might have been going on in the background, the real centres of attention most of the time were, of course, the children. Here we can see Cath (my sister) and Abigail (my neice), who's looking a little stunned by it all - understandable really!

Abigail and Emily Say Hi

The two youngest members of the congregation seemed far more casual about greeting each other than their respective mums...

Abigail, Emily and Family

I notice that Emily's looking a little thoughtful in this picture - maybe Dave's just told a joke and she's trying to figure out why he's finding it funny...

Cath, Steve and Abigail

Abigail looks comfy in this shot :)

Steve, Alex and Abigail

Another shot of the youngsters - I'm not a sucker for pictures of children! I'm not!!

Dad Taking Abigail

There's certainly a non-trivial amount of concentration going into this transfer - I should hope so too!

Dad and Abigail

Dad and Abigail, deep in conversation - maybe Dad was trying to persuade Abbie to have a quick game of Bridge...

Dad and Abigail II

Unfortunately for Dad, looks like Abbie's finding his hand far too interesting to be distracted.
