FAMILY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS....

The kids were home from Melbourne for a week and were able to enjoy not only Steve's birthday with him, but also Dan's parents as well as they all share birthdays in the same week....

It was great catching up with Dan's family as well after our long absence from home...
We celebrated the birthdays in style...

Mud crab were on the menu

Everyone home for dinner

Lighting the candles on his birthday cake...

 After dinner we had fun playing a new game that Pete and Maria had given me for Mother's Day to play on our trip away...
I think we only had a couple of nights were we played some games....
Usually we were pretty had it by the time we got in at night, and there were always photos and journals to write up...

"Play Prop" is a very simple game made by woman in villages in India to help support their families, but we had lots of laughs as we played it and shared the bad head dress around..

The game....

 It was such a good night... So glad that Chloe and Dan got to spend it with us...
They headed back to Melbourne the following day....
