I was telling the kids about it and mentioned that we should have our own Diamond Jubilee party and Reegan proclaimed with an astounding "YES!"
I was looking online to find out how this American girl could throw her family a little Diamond Jubilee party and was so pleasantly surprised by what I found. I was hoping to find some kind of free bunting and was ecstatic when I came across iChild. Not only did I find bunting, I also found free printable flags, a hat and crown, place name cards and more!!
Coloring and decorating.
English breakfast tea and scones with jam and cream, served in my Czech tea set.
I wasn't sure if the kids would like the tea, but they loved it since I made it sweet enough!
This photo cracks me up. Brennan was upset because the girl's hair was brushing against his ears. Ha!
That's better!! Wearing their crowns!
They wanted to have an egg race. Why not?!
I filled Easter eggs with some candy.
A not so happy Brennan in the background again. He dropped his egg and was not happy to have to start over.
We were being silly and told them, to finish they had to kiss my hand! Ha!
Enjoying their rewards!
For dinner we ate bangers and mash (if you're not familiar with that term it means sausage and potatoes).
So we really didn't have mashed potatoes. We did fried potatoes instead and used Nurnbergers, my fave, for our sausages. I found a recipe that included an onion gravy and it was incredible!!
Hopefully the queen would be pleased with our attempt to join in the festivities of this monumental occasion!
