Tadhg and Sadhbh visit their Irish family (and celebrate Sadhbh's 2nd birthday)

On Friday Tadhg and Sadhbh finally got to meet their Irish family. After an adventurous journey to find Uncle Eddie and Auntie Maria's new house, everyone was happy to meet Auntie Maria, Kyle and Grace. It was great to be able to spend time in the new house which is huge and has lots of garden to play in. Tadhg and Sadhbh enjoyed getting re-acquainted with their cousins (and playing with all of their toys). Grandma came down with a birthday cake and some presents for Sadhbh. Both Sadhbh and Tadhg were delighted to see their Grandma again.

When Granddad and Uncle Eddie arrived home it was time for the first celebration of Sadhbh's 2nd birthday. The kids loved the caterpillar cake that Grandma brought. Sadhbh enjoyed having everyone sing Happy Birthday to her and blowing out the candle. It was such fun that it had to be repeated a number of times. Sadhbh loved the twin baby dolls she received as a birthday present and helped Grandma put them to sleep. Sadhbh and Tadhg spent the night in their cousin's house and had fun saying good night to their Irish family for a change.

Saturday was another beautiful Irish day (sunny and cool) so the kids were able to spend a lot of time playing in the garden. After lunch, it was time to go back to Dublin so Sadhbh could nap in the car and to make it in time for their next visit. It was great to spend so much time with their Irish family on this trip.
