AUSTRALIA DAY PARTY

We decided to Celebrate Australia Day which was on the 26th January but it wasn't a holiday here and everyone was at school so we had it on Saturday 31st January with all our friends. It was heaps of fun.

I taught all the fellas how to play rugby (they had a hard time NOT running downfield!!) and passing backwards, but did an awesome job picking it up. We sung the National Anthem, Waltzing Madilta, True Blue, Home Among the Gumtrees, i think my wife even put some Kylie Minogue on?????

(This is Terina - Its not my fault she is Australian and your in denial!) SHES AUSTRALIAN WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!! LOL


We made up an Aussie Quiz and taught everyone slang words and had meat pies, pavlova, lamingtons, vegemite, fairy bread for the kids and heaps of other good tucker!!

So yes, I found your blog off the relief socity blog. So cute! I have several questions... Can we paint the walls in our apartments!? I love the pink room, you did a good job! And second, how do you know the Jensen's? I was reading through your blog and saw that you had spent Thanksgiving with them. They are a family friend of my family, I played tennis with Jocyln.. i just couldnt believe it when I saw a picture of them. Cute blog!
