Hello!

I've been particularly busy with birthday celebrations over the last couple of weeks! I had some lovely times with friends and family. One of the highlights being my grandfather (better known as Pom-Pom) singing me happy birthday on the phone as he has done for 31 years.

A few highlights have been:

A mysterious key from NP leading me to my 

surprise birthday dinner at Quay.

A night at the football with my family.

Gifts from my dear friends Yumi and Kirst.

Luncheon at Chowder Bay with the girls.

Eating my Dad's famous Pavlova 

(featuring my sisters Hannah and Amy).

Wow! That was a whole lot of good eating and fun times!

How lucky am I??!

Thank you everyone for making my birthday so very excellent!

Souzou loves Birthday Parties!

Yumi and I had terrific fun hosting Lana (8) and Scarlet's (5) birthday parties last November - we made lots of fun things and ate lots of chocolate cake!

NP's Birthday

Last week Nato turned "late-20s" and to celebrate we had a day of activites beginning with a BIG breakfast...



Cupcakes...




Followed by Laser Zone, beverages in the sun, Karaoke, and a feast of BBQ King. What a day! And on a school night too. This grandma was pretty pooped!

Continuing this year's theme for birthday presents I made 3 felted dinosaurs for NP to adopt. They're a bit funny looking, but that's half their charm (or so we tell them).
