Saturday 5.12.2015: Ah, those infamous words, "No, we will not be undertaking any further parties..........." Time heals all! Sybil had never had a birthday party (her choice), so Carole in her infinite wisdom decided it was time. It also seemed like an ideal way to serve as payback given Sybil's insistence on the "O Party" taking place. Only spent 12 months organising this party so one could say that this time around we were way better prepared. Friends Judy and John again put in a huge effort for the day - must be said to the point where both looked a little weary by party time.
The party theme was "All Things Christmas", with guests obliging by donning some form of Christmas garb. The entertainment was provided by Karen O'Shea and Lyn Bowtell and as per usual, it was thoroughly enjoyed. The poodle family coped marginally better, with Madison only spending a short time in her kitchen "panic cupboard". We had some 40 plus guests and it was great to catch up with everyone. It has been jointly decided that this will DEFINITELY be the final birthday party for either person, but having said that, we had a great day, following it up with the Christmas Carols at the local Tilligerry RSL, then a return barbecue breakfast on Sunday morning for any guests before they journeyed back home. The party animals were a little weary!
