I wanted to share some of our photo's with you from our Diamond Jubilee party here in Germany. I believe I have become more patriotic since living away from the Motherland, but watching the coverage of the Diamond Jubilee events in the UK on the TV - I think most people have become more patriotic; even if they are still living in their home country. It was really fantastic watching Britain and the commonwealth countries unite in celebration.
The whole idea of having a party started off as a joke with me saying I didn't think we would be seeing many street parties around locally. It was here the idea was born - We can do our own!! A few of us got our heads together and came forward with ideas for the party. It's great when you work with others and end up with a great plan!!
Here's how it went ...
The Decorations ...
Welcome everyone!!
Those of us that were travelling home to the UK were able to purchase Diamond Jubilee bunting.
We posted several pictures of the Queen throughout her life.
More bunting ... and the Union Jack
These were sent over from England ... whispers of a Jubilee Party!! =)
Starting to take shape!!
The Food .... decoration in itself! Everyone who attended was asked to bring food for the buffet ...
This cake turned out far better than I had expected, you can read about the joys of making this here
People really made an effort ... isn't this cool!!
Another work of 'food art'!
Here's our 'big' 5 year old checking out what was on the menu!!
Food glorious food .... even cucumber sandwiches!! =)
The Fun ...
Face painting ...
Crown decorating ... this little girl was definitely 'Kid of the Party'
Badminton ...
Having a Splash ...
Story telling ...
Trampolining ...
Bouncy Castle ...
We had planned a lot of things we didn't get around to doing, like 3 legged races etc All is not lost as we will use those ideas at our Olympics 2012 party!! =)
Did you plan or attend any Diamond Jubilee celebrations?
