Happy Birthday Georgia!

Since Uncle Stephen, Aunty Fran, Kayla and Caleb can't be in Albany to celebrate Georgia's 10th Birthday, they decided to make a little movie to send Birthday love and wishes....enjoy xxxxo

A Very Happy Un Birthday to You!

No, we haven't decided to kidnap our own children, they were blindfolded for an event that we are hoping will become a bit of a tradition in the Powell House. Both Kayla and Caleb have late in the year birthdays and it is very hard when they attend birthdays and have to wait so long for theirs and other children have 6 months wait where as they have 12, if you are a December baby you will know what we mean. Anyway, we got the idea from Alice in Wonderland where the mad hatter sings about the unbirthday. So we had a little unbirthday tonight. They were blind folded by Fran, lead to the kitchen to the cake and small gifts and lollies. They had 8 candles as that was their combined age. The gifts were really just things they needed and a couple of small toys. We played Alice in Wonderland at the same time on the DVD. A reall surprise to say the least.

Blind folded before the surprise!

Cake and pressies revealed!

The Um Birthday cake, it was our first attempt so next year the cake will have 'un', not 'um'!

Happy 2008!

Happy New Year from the Powells. We had a quiet new year celebration with some friends and a Barbeque in the back yard and a few drinks to help us relax for the evening. We love this photo of Kayla, Caleb and our friend's son being superheroes and getting into the party mood. Stephen's new year resolution is to make sure he sends Birthday Cards to people on time and not 4 months later (It is in writing now so it has to happen!). Fran is yet to share her resolution as yet!

Caleb's 3rd Birthday

We had a great birthday for Caleb. It started on Sunday when we went to AQWA and then to Baba and Didi's place for a birthday dinner. Today it was playgroup party and dinner with Kayla, Mummy and Daddy. Here is a little video of Caleb being sung happy birthday by his family.
