 These photos are from the middle part of 2009. 

The highlight was Usa's 50th birthday party.  Neil organized a surprise party with her friends from work.  They all managed to keep the secret and when she came home from Rex's choir practice she certainly was surprised.

Usa's 50th Birthday - celebrated with a BBQ at our place in Sydney

The calm before the storm

The birthday girl

The banner says it all "Usa - Can't Believe You're 50"

Our guests were brave enough to let Neil cook ...

... and still came out smiling (Usa with Kathy & Alison)

Beauty & the beast?

A simple sponge cake for the birthday girl

Neil made a speech ...

... and helps with the cake. "I think you should cut it here"
