High tea with The Ladies

The rules are simple:

The birthday girl books it in and then lets the group know the details.
Presents are a no no.

Cooper’s 1st Birthday Party!

Today we spent the morning down at the Sandgate Kidspace, right near the pier, celebrating Cooper’s first birthday, which happens to be tomorrow.  I can’t believe he’s only been around for a year – it seems as though he has always been here!  It was a rainy, windy morning but the kids still had a [...]

Thanks heaps Auntie Jode!

The big birthday…

Banner made by Karla Mac, just for me!
Yesterday I turned 30!
So, now I am officially classed as “old” around here – a title Marc has held all on his own for the last 13 months, give or take, and one which I’m sure he’s glad to finally share ;o)
And since I am now so very [...]

Happy Birthday Marc!

Today is Marc’s 31st birthday – he’s really old now ;0)
What have we got planned for the birthday boy today?  Absolutely nothing – exactly what he wanted!
His birthday isn’t going completely uncelebrated though, we did venture out last night with Laura, Brett and Belle for dinner at Gourmet Pizza Kitchen and dessert [...]
