Diets on hold... Its Birthday Time

The birthday of Pauly came and left in such a hurry! What a wonderful day it was though. We both took the day off…Kita with work and Pauly with university. We both thought we deserved it too!

The day began with a much needed sleep in! 730 am wake ups were definitely not on the agenda for wonderful day of activities. We left mid morning-ish for Kita’s surprise outing in raglan. It’s strange to think that at the start of the week we had snow in Hamilton and by the end of the week the weather was deemed suitable for the beach. We had lunch at a place Kita has always wanted to go to and it was delicious. Lunch was topped off with a nice walk around raglan... to work off the fatty food. Even on his birthday he couldn’t give into the idea of not burning off fatty food.

Celebrations continued as we had a family (and friends) feed at the Warwick’s home. Ours simply would not fit over 7 people and because Pauly is so popular we had to find a bigger place haha. It was an awesome night with a lot of food, games and laughs. Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who helped out in any way. It was also good to get a phone call from both mum and dad.

One of the many things that kept a smile on Paulys dial was that the tradition was kept alive. Since he was about 13 years old  he has had a white cake with blue icing and m&ms. Even though mum wasn’t there, she provided the mix and Lian produced a monster of a cake.

It truly was an amazing day!





























Questions - What is your most memorable Birthday? And do you have any traditions?
