The Big Day: Kian's Three!

What better at a summer birthday party than
train cake and the blue angels? Boom!

You just wouldn't believe the fly-over that Kian got at that perfect moment on his big day!

Precisely as we sang the final note of the final verse of the Happy Birthday To You song, one of the solo Blue Angels buzzed us directly overhead and almost cast out the 3 candles before Kian got the chance. Wow! Daddy couldn't have planned it better if he'd planned it himself (believe me, I tried to take credit).

It was jet noise, not our singing that had Kian and Oscar capping their ears.


Happy Birthdays, you twos!



Cake? The yummy sign confirms its good.

After all of our park festivities were finished (pin the tail on the donkey) and the Blue Angels had concluded with our personal show, most of us wandered back to our place down the street to keep the party going. Beer and wine could now freely be displayed (no more plastic keg cups), the pig was dug-up and the BBQ'ing commenced, and then came the dancing and the constant limbo train. Annie put together a most prodigious spread of food and everyone ate until they burst at the seams. What a great day: happy birthday, Kian and Annie! Thanks for surviving another year so we could throw a party. Thanks for coming, everyone, and gracing us with your presence and your presents!
