Last weekend was Nicole’s birthday and we had a bit of a party. Actually a big party. 16 people including kiddies were over. Nicole had bought herself a huge Costco cake (lots of icing) and we put on the barbeque. Unfortunately, I burned most of the meat on the barbeque, so we didn’t have all that much to eat. Peter, Naoko and Zen arrived just as everybody was leaving. The kids were well behaved and kept us all entertained. Nicole got a few CDs and an umbrella and some swim goggles that she wanted.
