BIRTHDAY BASH

 It was youngest daughter, Sonya's birthday last weekend. We took her to The Boathouse Restaurant by the bay at Manly. Older sister, Carol and husband David flew in from Melbourne for the weekend. No sooner had Carol settled in, she decided to cook us a Züpfa for breakfast the next day.




We had a late booking but we still had to wait sometime to be served. So we gave Sonya our presents.

Carol and David gave her a beautiful perfume. She was impressed with the fragrance.


Bill and I gave her a vase and poppies for her new house.

It is lovely to have both of them in Brisbane even for a few days.

The oldies enjoying the day with family.

The Fam!

    What a nice birthday party and having the whole family around. We haven't celebrated any birthday, I don't know why, my son doesn't get along with the fact that he is 50 (1) and honestly since Rick is not there anymore, I don't care about my birthday either. Sad but it is so. But they celebrated me here, and that was nice too. I think my son makes his midlife crisis ! :)

    How wonderful that your family was able to get together for Sonya's birthday. I love the colour of the vase you gifted her. A belated happy birthday to Sonya who looks like she thoroughly enjoyed her day.
