Milestone Birthdays

Drew's party
Belly dancer

Friday night a group of about 30 of Drew's co-workers and their families helped us celebrate Drew's milestone 30th birthday at Earth 'n' Sea Pizza & Pasta in Bulimba. We were so appreciative of this awesome group of people who made this a very special ocassion for Drew. There was plenty of laughs, pizza, beer and cake -- a great night and memorable birthday for Drew. Don't know if it will rank up there with his 21st, which he will tell you he spent with his great grandma, but it will be close for sure.

Jackson spent most of the night next door at the Turkish restaurant, which featured a talented belly dancer. Drew would say, "that's my boy," but what he doesn't realize is Jackson desperately wanted to join the belly dancer in chasseing around the restaurant. See picture -- for the record those are his dad's moves.

Sunday we had the honor of celebrating another birthday milestone -- the first birthday of Jackson's new buddy, Charlie. It was a great, funfilled party, complete with lots of kids and lots of cake. Charlie was quite a bit more impressive digging into his cake then Drew on Friday night. We need to keep a better eye on Jackson, however, as he took the liberty of opening two of Charlie's presents. Just wait, Jackson.

Since you said in an earlier post that Jackson was a vegetarian, I am wondering if you have let him get his hands on a local favorite, Vegemite!

Next milestone bday...Maeve's!
