We went out to dinner at Georges on Waymouth, beautiful Italian food!

nana Mac was due to go into hospital the following day for an op and could only have clear fluids - without prior notice, the waiter organised a clear chicken broth for her. Fantastic!

Dessert!

We had a lovely evening, a great finish to the day.

Graduation...

Doesn't she look a picture? You wouldn't know she had a bout of tonsillitis that started on Tuesday (I thought she was heading for Gladular Fever again! - huge red infected tonsils). The doctor prescribed large doses of penicillin and her throat was much better Friday morning...

A big weekend...

Kirby headed off to Victor Harbour for Schoolies last Saturday morning. With a Falcon Wagon laden with sleeping bags, mattresses, tent, food, hair straighteners, make-up and lots of munchies, she and 3 of her mates drove out the driveway with music blaring and laughter. The first night was quite cold and miserable but the second day picked up and they had fun... so I am told!!

Brianna looked gorgeous on Grad night too! She and her friend, Maddy, danced the night away!

My treasures!

On Sunday, I travelled to Adelaide with my two big sisters and my Mum, to attend a 60th Wedding Anniversary for my uncle and auntie - my Mum's brother and sister-in-law. It was a lovely celebration with their 4 children making speeches that made me teary, such is their love and appreciation for their parents. I met my cousin, who I hadn't seen for 35 years or more. She is 6 months older than me and is about to become a grandmother in January. I think I can wait a bit longer than that!! All in all, a great but tiring weekend. I'm glad we are all home safe and sound.

Next Saturday is Kirbz 18th Birthday so the partying continues! Yay?! We are having dinner at a pub on Saturday night then a casual barby lunch on Sunday for the rellies. I am working full time this week so I am going to be a busy girl.

A lovely evening...

Kirby's Graduation dinner was a lovely evening. She looked beautiful, as did all the other girls. She danced and hung out with her school friends then they went off to a pub for a while after.
She was home on time so she could get some sleep before heading off to Schoolies the next morning.

Graduation Day...

Today our daughter, Kirby, graduates from her secondary education - she has put in hard all during her education with glowing reports along the way.

Today is her day - amid a flurry of fake tan, air-brushed make-up, nail polish, up-styles and anxiety that the dress will fit. It's getting exciting!

This is from the card we will give her later today along with a commemorative gift.
