Greasy Finger Hands

Yesterday was Jonty's birthday. He got a bunch of lovely presents from his family including lots of chocolate, a first aid kit, a book and a chainsaw. We also baked and awesome and huge chocolate cake which has all kinds of sweet decorations on the top. We went out for a family dinner at Lone Star which was fun and really expensive. Lovely people, great food and so many families. A welcoming adults restaurant with great food and service for kids - great combo. Nic was a tremendous help to Jonathan his waiter who I am sure got more than he bargained for when making friends with my son. As always seems to happen when we go out for dinner, Nic ended up delivering glasses to other tables and making friends all over the place. He did have one negative comment to make about having 'greasy finger hands' on his tiny paper New Zealand flag. Oh well.

Also, as one baby gets married and starts a new life, another baby enters the family. A little boy called Chase in Melbourne. Pete and Lisa are now grandparents. Congrats everyone and welcome Chase.
