Party Poppers

Some highlights from the party....

In true Extreme Make-Over Home Edition Style the builders were finishing off the decks as the guests arrived, but luckily no one left covered in splinters or paint.

So, true to my word, we did it. We remodelled an entire house and arranged a huge party with live music in a brand new country in just six weeks.

Buffy takes a break from golf to join the party

Never offer to volunteer in the Decent household. Ross's brother Craig ended up preparing all the food with his wife Adele and the gbf. Luckily we have family in the all the right places. They are in the catering trade.

In the end we had around 60 guests - not bad for people who have only been in the country for four months!

A huge thanks to everyone who attended and made the day so special for us.

Thanks also to Ian Carrus for his photographic talents!
