Bex had the time of her life!
November 17th, 2008It was impossible to choose which photos to include from Becky’s Dirty Dancing-themed hen weekend (and not just because some of them were inappropriate for a family website!). So here is just a brief taste of what went on in the New Forest. For one thing, let’s just say that there was a LOT of pink. Pink champagne and a pink veil made by Muz…

A pink cocktail fountain prepared, slightly wistfully, by a pregnant Hannah…

Pink accessories (Tor brought an entire suitcase of hats and boas for the gang)…

An entire table and gaggle of hens decorated in pink!

And, of course, there was dancing. We brushed up on our skills with a dance class, where we learned the salsa and the chachacha…

Later that night, Bex and Emily decided to invade each other’s dance space…

And then there were the games. Like Blockbusters (I’ll have a P please Bob)…

And karaoke…

And “I Carried a Watermelon” (Emma and Emily unfortunately couldn’t even hold the watermelon long enough for a photo to be snapped)

Also the After Eights game, which, looking back, we really should have banned cameras from…

There was much drinking throughout the weekend, of course…

And even more “woo-hoo-ing”…

Not to mention more than a few hangovers. Which is why we couldn’t have been more excited to discover that the Sunday night stragglers got one couch EACH to lie back and enjoy Strictly Come Dancing, while reminiscing about all the fabulous moves we’d picked up in our dance class…

Cheers, Bexta! Just over 4 weeks to go!!






































Evie now seems to have two, but Chloe doesn’t look happy about it.
Oh, it almost got ugly… and Evie, no wallflower, definitely held her own!
In case you’re wondering how Chloe joined Evie & Muz, it was bum first!
Much better…
But deep down, we know they love each other. Look at Chloe showing Evie how her toys work…
And she even let Evie play with Dee. Now that’s serious business.
Sharing toys is thirsty business..
A time-out with Nan-nan is in order.
And then a quiet stroll with Dee in Evie’s buggy. (How pretty is our little Chloe?!)
Meanwhile, Evie spends some quality time with her Auntie Hannah…
And her Grandma Muz…
After a long hard day of invading Chloe’s dance space, it’s time for a quiet bath with Grandma Muz and Nan-nan.
