More random party pics

WARNING : LOTS OF PHOTOS AHEAD! Scroll down to the post called "It's been a while..." and work your way back up!

Sarah's cousin Chloe and her boyfriend, Flynn.

Kate and Louise take centre stage while Steve checks out the cameraman.

Caitlin tucks into a hearty Adam's Ale and cracker.

It wasn't exactly warm so bobbly hats (Crystal) and jackets were in order. Sadly, Olivia's cute denim jacket covered up her wings!

On into the evening...

This picture made me think of "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" - Rohan was running a marathon the day after the party so was a little nervous! We appreciated the effort he made to be there - he'd moved in to a new flat that afternoon and still made it out with a lovely children's story about Salvador Dali for Iris (fantastic book for anyone interested in art, goes nicley with the book on Monet that Jessica gave to Phoebe. With any luck, our children will be kulcha'ed!)

Feeding time at the zoo.

This is what the "big" cousins (i.e. the over 18 year olds!) get up to with Play-Doh when the littlies have gone to bed. Josh has submitted a picture to http://www.stuffonmycat.com/ and is hoping to be published!

Flashback to the seventies, except Brad, the fondue master in the blue shirt, wasn't even born till the next decade.

Party on and on...

The younger guests took advantage of the winter sun and tried out Iris and Phoebe's new swing set (very kindly given to us by their cousins Madison, Delaney and Brandon, and driven down from Taupo by Stuart and Delaney the day before).

Three of Granmarg's very good friends, Leone, Jessica and Marg L. joined in the festivities. Bubbles and balloons are a good mix.

Still a full house - Sue ( in the pink shirt) and, in the Play-Doh corner Ashleigh, Olivia, Brianna, Hayley and Crystal.


Aaron and Paula (Ashleigh and Olivia's mum and dad) were a great hit with Phoebe.
