Arama's 11th Birthday Celebration

It was Arama's 11th Birthday on the 12th of Jan last week,  

It began with a Visit to Takapuna Beach with Us and 

The Murray Boys to visit Papa Smurf, very Exciting! 

Then a Few cousins and friends came for a sleep over,

We started at Nanny and Poppa's  house for a big swim then a bit to eat.

Nanny Trish ALWAYS, for every Grandchild's party makes

the little Jelly Oranges,  which are always a big hit.  Here is a photo 

of everyone digging into them.  I even remember these oranges 

When I was a kid,  cool little family tradition I think,  that

must be passed on in our whanau 4eva!

Then we all came home for Dinner,  The ordered menu was

Tacos.  The boys all had a Wii game night and they stopped for

Mario cake about 8.30pm.  

Here is the cake again!

These were Arama's chosen party guests.  He doesn't

usually want many people at his party, he likes to keep it

simple and enjoys playing wii games into the late hours

of the night or shall I say wee hours of the morning!!  

We were a little tired the next day!  LOL!
