celebrating Nige

My dear sister, Natalie, is so good with birthdays and we were invited to the Henderson's for Nige's birthday dinner.  Nat even made a delicious chocolate cake for him.  I was two mouthfuls into the cake and then suddenly remembered that there was regular coffee in it - no wonder it tasted so good!

The cake had those tricky, re-lighting candles on it.  The room became quite filled with smoke because of how many times Nige had to blow the candles out.  Daniel thought it was great.

Nat also organised a game of pass the parcel.

Phil was in charge of the music.  I think he was having trouble remembering who had not yet opened a wrapping :)

It was a good pass the parcel because we ALL got a prezzie . . . a bite size Picnic bar.  Nige got a full size Picnic bar though!  :)

This is the card that the Hendersons gave Nige for his birthday.  What looks like a glass of beer is really . . . a Starbucks Frappucino!  Nat found a tiny little Starbucks logo and glued it to the card!  haha :)
