Isaac's 11th Birthday Party

I had always promised Isaac a 10th birthday party, but because we were still living at the house in town when he turned 10, I said he could have a party when he turned 11 because we'd be in the new house with much more space at Pie Creek. Well, we weren't at Pie Creek, be we were in another house at Dagun... with much more space. So Isaac had 4 friends over to celebrate his 11th birthday... Jethro, Charlie, Ryan and Matthew...

Ava's 8th Birthday

Because Ava was turning 8 on the 8th, she was allowed to choose to do something special for her "glory birthday". She chose to ask Matilda to go to Aussie World with her. We went on Saturday 5th because her birthday fell on a school day.

Then Matilda had a sleepover that night, and we went to Grandma's on Sunday for more birthday cake!

On Tuesday, Ava turned 8 on the 8th! She loved her presents, took cakes to school and had more cakes dinner!

Mum's 65th & Dad's 70th Birthday Party

Aunty Cathy and the family (mostly Aunty Cathy) organized a surprise

birthday party on the 5th October for Mum's 65th and Dad's 70th on the farm.

It was great timing for us because it was the day we left Coolangatta after our week's holiday.

Everybody waited down at the school then drove in a procession up the hill.
