First thing in the morning, Griffin with his favourite person in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD... his beloved Uncle Steve.
Starting to look like a PARTY!
A really nice mix of friends, family, neighbours and blogger buddies.
Brylee was thrilled to bits to have another wee girl to play with... usually it's her and BLOODY BOYS!
Four of our 6 grandchildren, eating lunch.....On me sunlounger...
More lovely people.... yakking.....
Getting ready to blow out the birthday candles.....
That's it! Funnily enough we didn't take too many photos... too busy me thinks.
TODAY:
Kids to school, big boys leave for Palmerston North again... and I get to ..... tidy up and then relax!
ONWARD.....
Thanks to Lynda, we have a photo of the cake:
And after I had attacked it with the knife! I wasn't complimented on me cake cutting... hmmmmm... I don't see the problem, do you?
CARDS!!!! Well... I am going to post photos of all of them tomorrow...and in fact they are not all here yet! So, if ya don't see your's ... I ain't got it yet! If you didn't send me one... you are a shit. (LOL) I had the best time ever opening all me cards, each and every one made me smile... I WAS LIKE A PIG IN SHIT... HAPPY AS COULD BE. ha ha ha.
Steve had a flat tyre so had to get that fixed first thing this morning, and we went over to Sylvia Park and bought Mike his birthday present (hair straighteners)... he's such a girl! Well, with his hair he is anyway. They have left for Palmerston North now and it's lovely and quiet at my house. I am so tired from the party preperations etc that I am now off to have.... A GRANNY NAP! yaaaaaa.
End of Day: a quiet afternoon... no nap (bugger)... but did rest. Got lots of housework to do tomorrow... did bugger all today!
NSV: I had some pototoe chips (crisps) tonight and dang! I don't like them anymore!!! This is friggin great! I hadn't had any in literally years... I am certainly over them! nite nite.
Looks like it was fun!

hi ya,
ReplyDeleteI made it home safe and sound and was VERY tempted to take a day off work as I was so tired. (driving in the sun is a sure fire way to zonk oneself out, and the four glasses of wine I consumed probably didn't help).
Thanx for walking me 'home', it was great to meet a few more bloggers and finally put some real live people to the words I have been reading for so long.
What a wonderful party! Happy Birthday. Your cake was so pretty! Hope you have recovered from your festivities!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Glad you had a good Knee's Up.
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks like 50 people were there!! You had quite the turnout!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a grea birthday. You do know that's a strage way of cutting a cake.
