Some people choose to let their birthdays pass without any knowledge to most but not in our house. Friday night Daisy and I prepared the house for Rich's birthday. He had balloons and banners, presents and cards and a victoria sponge that Daisy decorated all by herself.
Saturday morning started with the song, opening of presents and batting of balloons around the lounge!
Then it was business as usual because Daisy had her swimming lesson, I went for a run and then Rich went off to a boxing class.
After lunch we headed into town with Jodie and Paul and had a grown-ups afternoon. Rich decided he wanted to go rock climbing (another something new) so that is exactly what we did. We went to Fergs Kayaks on the waterfront. It was a crisp bright winters day - perfect for indoor activities!
We spent a couple of hours here testing ourselves in between laughing at one another and then headed off to a bar called Leuven http://www.leuven.co.nz/ which is a Belgian cafe bar where we had the most gorgeous mussel platter and watched Paul enjoy a giant sized Hoegaarden! Rich and I stuck a glass of wine each which went with our mussles perfectly.
Once we had our little stop-gap we headed off for a game of bowling.
It was tea time by the time we finished so we headed off home and picked the children up. Then it was time for cake - yummy!!
We had a lovely takeaway and once the children were tucked up in bed the adults carried on partying into the small hours.
We all had a great day and night. Sometimes its the simplest of things that bring us the most pleasure.
Thanks to Jodie and Paul - lots of funny memories - especially of Paul flat on his back lol!! xx
