Charles & Christian:
Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

Yuummm (that’s Mum’s hand in the corner
)

We all went to Grandma’s house for her birthday dinner, ’cause Grandma’s good friend Madeleine gave her a turkey (an’ it’s not just any turkey… it’s big as an emu!!) so we needed a biiig crew to eat it
Needless to say, someone was very popular… Debbie and Glennis were more than happy to give Mum a rest!

After dinner we had a rest and played with Dad…

Then it was singing time… “Happy Birthday to Grandmaa!!”

Christian:
Happy Birthday Grandpa from me and Charles

Grandpa had lots of visitors, even a few from out of town… like Aunty Mel (full time job keeping my brother out of mischief)

Cheryl, on the right, plus Glennis and Geoff to nurse me… check out all those glasses (mostly empty too)

And, of course, I wasn’t allow to go home until Grandma had a nurse for a while… Good night Grandma xx

Yep, this looks like the right place… Great Uncle Evan and Cousin Bron finally arrive at Noosa’s wedding of the year!
The long march… high heels and grass, oh joy

Welcome to the family, Dean… Bronny gets her man!

One good thing about having teeth… once the pain goes away… is ya get lotsa good stuff ta eat

Ya do hafta be a bit careful not ta have too much though!

Monday night Grandpa and Watto came over to our place an unloaded a big digger ta knock down our mango trees an’ stuff. Boy… I want dad ta get me one of these… it’s even bigger than my pram
Watto’s not standing on the ground , he’s standing on the tracks… even he’s not that tall!

Grandpa came back last night ta start flattening all the ol’ fences, then he started on the trees… good fun!! More pics ta come.

Today was a solemn occassion… I was christened into St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in the presence of my family and friends. The ceremony was performed by Father Joel and my godmother Tiana. I was pretty stressed by all the goings on, but Auntie Katie was helping me, and Mum wasn’t far away!

Once everything was over I managed a big smile for Mum and Dad
