Holly 2 - St Patrick 1400
There were never any snakes in post-glacial Ireland, so that was a pretty easy party-piece.....
Anyway, in honour of the snake-charlatan, Holly's second B'day and a rather belated house-warming, we had a splendid party on Saturday.
Panic from Mrs R re how many people might turn up, and a lack of training re portion control (Nif - I should have called you last week...) mean that we cooked enough chilli to feed Mexico - literally.
We spent Sunday tidying up, and then opened presents on Monday - Thomas the Tank Engine was a big hit - plenty of opportunity to start a new series of stupid voices to narrate Hols' story telling - and various items of new clothing, including her first knickers!
Thanks to all for presents and cards - it's amazing how Hols has changed in only a few months - she got a real kick out of opening presents and cards, vs Xmas, when she didn't have much of a clue what was going on.
We've been working too much lately and being a bit boring, so we don't really have any cool pictures from stuff we've done in the last month or so, but hopefully that'll change soon - Kev is over this week, so I'm sure he'll drag us out......

Squamish
Well, I'm sat here with my leg up and a bag of ice on my groin, so I must be post hernia-op....
Decided it was time to sort the little tinker out as it was starting to slow down my snowboarding - can't have that.
Mrs R is doing a splendid turn as Florence Nightingale, and I'm trying my hardest not to remind her too much of my old man as I melodramatically wince in pain and send her off running errands......
Here's a couple of photos from a trip to Squamish a few weeks ago - taken mostly by Sparky's fair hand - am looking forward to the spring, as I think there should be a good posse to go bouldering with.
Other news? We're looking forward to Kev coming over in a couple of weeks time, and it was good to see Dec and Jules last weekend.
Plus, we're having a combined Holly's 2nd birthday/house warming/Paddy's day party on the 17th - should be fun.
