So Saturday was a special double-birthday celebration for my sister and Mum - and as today (Sunday) is my brother's birthday, we celebrated last night with a big party for all 3 of them! A group family and close friends converged on my parents' house at around 6pm, everyone bringing a plate for dinner (pot luck!), and the fun began from there...
Presents! I lurve giving birthday presents. These were well-received by all (phew!)
Birthdays needs must be celebrated with French bubbles - is it wrong that I lost count of how many glasses I had, but I believe I may have consumed the lion's share?
A special Whitestone cheese platter - think I've raved about this cheese before, its from Omaru in NZ and people, its amaaaazing! Check it out in your local Woolies!
Seafood extravaganza!
Lets just take a moment to appreciate the crayfish goodness - are you dying yet? Seriously, SO good!
Many, many nommy desserts and a Very Fancy Cheese. I should add, several other main courses were also served but somehow escaped my camera-notice, dammit!
At this point my camera was left on a table somewhere, and not found again until shortly before 12am when V and I finally grabbed out things and headed home...
Having arrived home after midnight, V and I were exhausted this morning, and required coffee, stat! In giant mugs, naturally
'Twas chilly today! A really wintery day, sunny and bright but still sharply cold. I actually kind of loving dressing for this type of weather
This was right after I managed to spike myself in the head with one of those big succulent plants outside our house - I believe my concern was more for my 'do than my head

What a gorgeous celebration it looks like you enjoyed. I love a birthday celebration. We celebrated my grandfather's 100th last week. he isn't with us any longer, but we see no reason for that to stop us partying! Chandon and his favourite birthday cake were enjoyed by all, I'm sure he would have approved.
