We drove down to Mittagong to visit our friends the Jacksons at their new house. It was a nice drive down and we had a lovely time sitting on their balcony. The Postles came as well so all the kids got to play together. The adults had a great catch up and the kids played together in different combinations depending on the time.
Well SV and KT got to go out. The rest of us got dressed in some fancy outfits but stuck around the house. We were mostly going through the dress up clothes to figure out what to keep, donate and throw away. Hard work but the girls did a great job with it.
After an eventful day there was but one more thing to do. Open pressies. So we all gave our presents and those sent from overseas to SV. She really enjoyed all of them.
After a great lunch we went to the arcade so the girls could play some games. They had a great time playing both by themselves and together. At the end they each got some tickets to spend and get a few little things.
SV chose Slovak food for lunch and of course all the girls had bryndzove haluski. They were all satisfied and we had a really pleasant lunch. We were ready for the fun the afternoon presented.
For SV's 12th birthday she wanted to have some time with just the family. She really wanted to go to the movies and lunch. We stopped and got a bubble tea before heading inside to watch the Barbie movie. The girls chatted as we waited for the teas and before the movie started. They all enjoyed the film too although not sure they quite got all of it.
October is a very busy month for birthdays and we had to go buy some gifts for several people. We had a good time walking around the shopping centre and looking at stuff. We ended up getting what we needed for everyone, but it was exhausting. Luckily we found a nice place for a rest.
