Party girl

Phoebe's first birthday party was brought to you by the letter 'P' - we had p=themed food (pizza, peanuts, pineapple, papaya, pretzels etc), drink (pinot noir, pilsener, pale ale and the all-encompassing "plonk") and games. Guests got into the spirit of things - we were joined by Peter Pan, a Parisienne, a professional, Granmarg resplendent in purple, Briana as a princess, Hayley in pink and so on. Phoebe, of course, came as her self and was the star of the show.

Time for presents and no shortage of helpers!

It's a serious business...

THE CAKE!

Amanda outdid herself this time with a pyramid of passionfruit profiteroles. Mouthwatering and spectacular!
