I wasn't going to post about this, but I looked at the photos and realised I wanted to remember it one day. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) this blog often turns out to be the best way for us to look back and get a summary of something. Even when I'm looking for a photo to show someone, I'll often come here first, rather than trawl through the endless photos in the gallery.
So here we go: Steve is 40.
We didn't want a big party, but also didn't want to let it slide by unnoticed. So a casual afternoon tea on the deck and then blokes around for beers afterwards. The beers event we were hoping would be at Hiker, but they decided to host the school trivia night there so we had to change those plans.
Food highlights were the croquembouche (which was not stressful as such, but involved and tricky, mostly because of my rather ridiculous oven) and ninja chocolate biscuits, along with the usual afternoon tea fare.
There was bunting.
And Sophie wore her graduation outfit for a test drive and I wore my purple arrow dress even though it still had wonky sides and the sleeves were too long.
Everyone had a good time, and lots of people chipped in for Steve to get a Switch 2. There has been much gaming in the household since. Happy Birthday Steve!
