Nanna's 60th birthday party

Dear Matthew and Toby

We recently celebrated your nanna's 60th birthday with a big birthday party at her place. Up until the day before we were keeping it a secret but the day before Darryl let her know what had been planned, which meant we had the whole day to set up at their place before the party. It was a real team effort, and as you can see from the first few photos below, even you and your cousins helped set it all up.

In the evening everyone arrived and we had a great time mingling with everyone and enjoying the amazing platter boards that Darryl had arranged to be set up. You both had even more fun playing with your cousins in the garage, and Matt you had a go at table tennis. At the end of the party you even got to roast marshmallows outside with Darryl on the fire.

It was a beautiful night celebrating your beautiful nanna. She goes above and beyond for us, and I am so grateful she is in our lives. Every Tuesday she travels an hour (in peak hour!) to come to our house so your dad and I can work. She does the school run for you Matt and then goes to the library and river/playground with you Tobes. That is no small feat and it means that you both don't have to go to daycare or before and after-school care, and you get the loving care of your grandmother. She is beyond generous.

Love you both,

Mum xxx
