Madison had a birthday on the 11th April and is now "officially" a teenager ! I am a bad mother, and I blogged about Michaela's ball on the official day of her birthday...OOPS !? Here is the time line of events as they unfolded...
So....our wonderful and terrific "Fred" (Harvey's dad who's real name is really Ian..) came for a "quickie" visit on the 7th April. The 8th was Michaela's ball night. (see previous blog) Since Fred lives so far away in Tasmania, it was a terrific opportunity for the family to get together. After dropping Michaela off to her friends house to get the limo Harv and I hightailed it off to Dianella and the very beautiful temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a truly magnificent place to be with family. So very special.
After the temple session, Harv, Fred and I went to Nando's for dinner. Delicious !
On Sunday the 10th April we listened to the inspired prophets and leaders of our time. I LOVE technology that allows us the privilege of doing that! SO uplifted !
The whole family decorated a "Olivia" the octopus for Madi's birthday cake to take to the other "Oates" for birthday dinner ! It was fun to make and decorate.

My beautiful and wonderful sister-in-law made us an AWESOME lamb roast dinner ! It had never occurred to me to cook a roast dinner in the BBQ before?! Very delicious and WOW ! It was SO lovely to spend time with the family ! Madi felt VERY spoilt and special.
