November 16, 2010


Finally! The pics from the big day arrive... there are so many pics, so I tried hard to choose the best of the best.

We began the morning off a little earlier than normal so that we could wake them with our family tradition of 'Happy Birthday' and pressies in bed. They were adorable, rubbing their eyes whilst trying to smile and look wide awake. One of the gifts was a large plastic shell with balls, so we packed all the other gifts into the shell so that they could 'climb into' their presents. They were so excited and wanted to rip everything open, it was quite hard to keep them interested in one present long enough to actually finish opening it...

We then continued with our normal morning routine, I took them up to school to hand out their cupcakes and chips to their friends and teachers and spent a few hours at work whilst El got everything ready for our trip to the bird gardens at Monte Casino. I left work super early and took the twins home and then we all headed out for our morning tea and bird show. Eli & Grace loved the bird gardens, it was such a treat to watch them learn and marvel at the stunning creatures. We had morning tea together in the gardens before heading home for a kip (for the twins...)

Heather, Owen, Catherine and their kids joined us in the afternoon for tea and cake, which was a lovely end to our day.

We received so many cards, sms' and emails - thank for all remembering!

Love to you all!
