Happy birthday Gabby

As at least one of you remembers very well, Gabby celebrates her birthday today. Yesterday, we got together and, quite literally, flew the flag for Gabby's birthday.

Birthday CAKE!

Ben opened his newly renovated home to his family and Gabby's friends. The BBQ was started with some help from Ben's dad and all males were quickly lost to the smoke haze around it. The girls, being the smart ones, gathered around the snacks to drink pear cider.

The day flew by with great food, laughs from the box game (Ben will need to teach this to you when he joins us), the most amazing chocolate birthday cake prepared by Ben's mother and enough alcohol to sink the whole of Ireland.

Of course the highlight for Gabby, as you probably all know from Facebook, was THE present - an ipad 3 - with contributions from many of Ben's family, Gabby's friends and some family back in Australia ;-)

Here are some pictures from the day below so you can feel like you were there without the hang over today.
