We had a fantastic night on Saturday, starting at 4 and going through until midnight, when it was only Alex and I left to wander off to the motel room that Lauren booked for me. By then I'd had quite enough to drink and could take the silly grin off my face that I seemed to be wearing all night. It was just so lovely to be surrounded by family and friends and it was a perfect night. The weather was lovely, the company and conversation great.
A delicious birthday cake. Most went back for seconds
I was invited on the trip of a lifetime in 3 years to Europe with my cousin and his wife that I think I'll seriously start saving for. Mick and Yvonne both had the best tales of overseas antics I've heard in a long while. It really made me wish I could go, and when Mick suggested that I come with them, because they plan on going back, it sounded too good to refuse.

All the family was there except for Anthony and Jennifer, though I had a phone call from Anthony just as everyone was arriving for the party. I'm sorry he couldn't have been there to join in the celebrations, but talking to him was lovely. Jen rang me early in the day to wish me the best and also to say she'd love to be there. Christine was a late entrance and as usual, it was great to see her. Sometimes it's so hard to get around family when your immediate family is so large and growing all the time so it was special to catch up with everyone. Mum's brother and sister came with their partners too. It was a like a family reunion. Just a fabulous night.
