November Birthday's - it is a crazy time of year

Just a few happy snaps from some of the birthdays we have in November... Happy Birthday to Darryl, Billy, Craig, Misha, Kata, Jono, Heulwen, Ian C, Erika, Meg!!

Craig turns 29..... only 365 more days until the big 30!

Happy Birthday Daddy....

This year for Craig we decided to go out for dinner which was a great idea.  Over to Steeples again with just a few of us (about 20!).  Was lovely to have the night off cooking and Craig got to have his favourite meal for dinner - go on guess - Chicken Parma...

It was nice for Craig to be able to have his mum and dad down for his birthday again.  Jake loves his Nanna and Pa.

The Darwinians....

After about 6 years we finally got to spend some good quality time with Uncle Paul, Tammy, Madi, Meg & Cam.....  Uncle Paul finally got some well earned extended leave - I think they call it "Shore Leave" in the Navy.  I quizzed him on all the Navy terms with my new found knowledge after watching Sea Patrol.  It was great to see them and for everyone to catch up.  They were down for about 10 days of which I think we saw them most days...

So for those of you that haven't seen them before but have heard about the family from Darwin here they are...

Uncle Paul...

Tammy...

Meg...

and Cam...

Madi was around for a while but don't seem to have many shots of her!

The 10 days were jam packed -

We spent some time down at our beach (Fishies) - they were very pleased to be able to actually swim in the water even if it was a little colder than the Darwin water.  Cold water is better than Croc water!

The Rich's all had dinner together and a good catch up..... finally a photo with all 4 of the Rich kids and then a family shot...

There was lots of time spent around Mum and Dad's pool with everyone!

The Darwin crew attended a wedding and all looked great....

Meg & Cam came around for a bit of a play with Jake...

Mums house was turned into a hair dressing studio...

Jake enjoyed playing with the water and the girls...

And then at the end of the 10 days they all headed home.  By the 10th day Jake was happy to give uncle Paul a cuddle good bye! 

Was so nice to see them - hopefully we can see them again soon!

Like totally lovin' the 80's!!!

We took a step back in time and went to Fi's 30th in Geelong.  Yep 80's theme - was an awesome night - everyone got right into the whole dress up thing.... As you can see we were all looking stunning!
