Will had a good birthday weekend and enjoyed not one, but TWO birthday cakes! I made him an AFL football cake with sparklers which he had with his friends.Then Sam went to HUGE efforts with Natalie to make an AFL jersey cake in the Geelong colours - it was fantastic! Natalie, Jason and the girls came round for tea on Will's actual birthday where he had the cake and we played the chocolate game once more!
On Saturday evening, Chris and I went to a 1960's Ball with work, based on the theme "Mad Men" which is an American drama which seems to have passed us by! Apparently it's been on in the UK but we have never seen it. I dug out a dress and was madly sewing netting into the lining (to make it stand out) just hours before we were leaving. Piled my hair up 60's style, whilst Chris was busy using a whole pot of gel to smooth his down on one side! Boy did we look dashing! The best bit was when Sam said... "Just imagine if you were going on the train like that!!!" which, in fact, we were! It was a good, fun evening, with live bands and dancers food and wine.
More fantastic news we received yesterday.... Chris has got promoted to "Director!". We have been waiting about 6 weeks to hear, after he was put forward by his boss and had to put a case forward as to why he should be promoted. So last night we went out to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate. He certainly deserves it after all the hard work he has put in and the new work he has gained for PwC since his arrival in Australia. Very proud of him :)
The Boys finish school on Friday and have 2 weeks holiday. The second week we are going skiing to Mt. Hotham which is about a 4.5 hr drive away, so we are all very excited about that! It'll be very strange skiing in July and interesting to compare with Europe. So the next blog will probably be from there...!
