A birthday barbie, special guests, and a special surprise!

Yesterday we had a family BBQ to celebrate Mark's birthday, and the arrival of Rob (Mark's son) and his partner Kylie in Tassie. Unfortunately, Rob and Kylie missed their plane from Perth and missed the BBQ, but they dropped in later. Rob and Kylie get married in Gordon (South of Hobart) on Saturday!
Patrick had his first try at BBQ cooking
It will go towards his Cooking Level 1 badge for Cubs
The delicious carrot cake made by Mum!
And the gingerbread cottage before Patrick took to it
with a rolling pin!!! The special surprise!!!
We got the kids a trampoline this year, and thought we'd make the most of the many hands, and get it set up, rather than try and do it on Christmas Eve! We are going to the Bike Centre for breakfast on Christmas Day, and it would be hard for the kids to leave the trampoline if they'd only just got it, so we surprised them yesterday. Lauren is out on it now!

Warning - objects in this photo are not as close as they appear!!!
The wall is not right next to the trampoline like it looks!

Oh wow - what a great idea to go to the bike centre for breakfast!! The kids will love that.

Because the kids so often get things with wheels for Christmas, it's a good, safe place to go, and central to most of us. There will be about 20 of us, so we're getting too many to have at one house comfortably!
