We partied into the night
Ennis, my wife, celebrated her 50th birthday last night - in style. We had family from New Zealand. Friends from Ennis’ school, friends made through the kids, and friends from Pacific Parks Uniting.

We hired out a restaurant at the local race course and made it into a multi-generational multi-station party venue. There was karaoke. There was XBox on the big screen TV. And Playstation projected on to a wall with projector.
We had round tables, square tables and cocktail tables. The bar was open. We reviewed Ennis’ life in a PowerPoint presentation of 50 photographs. The family sang their composion to the tune of “Ave Maria”. We continued to party into the night.
That’s Ennis in the photo, woman in black in the middle, singing “I’ll be a friend”.
