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!
This looks like such a fun event! You are a great, mom! Hey, we need to get together before you leave!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun! Yes, we do!! We need to work on that!
DeleteHow fun and creative! Stopping by from the SITS Saturday Sharefest.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you go to so much effort to make the special days a big deal with your kids :) It looks great
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun! Enjoy those nurnberger sausages while you're there. I haven't acquired a taste for British sausage yet. When we went to Germany/Austria, I couldn't believe the difference!
ReplyDeleteHow cool was that?! Well done! (In from the Sharefest)
ReplyDeletePopped in from SITS! Sounds like a blast!
ReplyDeleteHi there, so glad you joined in the celebrations! We had a garden party/BBQ. My kids also coloured in flags! Love to read about what people from other countries do for things like this. Vic (new UK follower) :)
