Who’s who?
Thought we’d include a bit of a who’s who to jog the memory… If you look at the last group shot, it will make this easier.

From the left…
– Josh is Anna’s boyfriend and Anna and Kris are Noris’ kids (Genevieve is the oldest but is in the USA).
– casadellawilson is Rob and Nadia’s place
– Gabby, Natasha and Zac are Levis and Anne-Marie’s (see the previous group shot) kids (Tanya is the oldest but couldn’t be at the party).
– …and, Gianni is Angelica’s husband.

Paul Schaff’s 50th

It was a 50s theme party and Rob and Nadia went all out to fit in. We also won the best dressed prize!

Getting ready at Craig and Allanah-Rei’s…


Rob getting ready – thanks, Craig, for the flattering shot!

Nadia helps Rob get ready

Allanah-Rei and Rob

This is Rob helping – not strangling!

The practice twirl…

…and they’re ready – OH YEAH BABY!!!

More images to come of the party…

Kris and Anna (in Brisbane)


Huffed and puffed all the way up here…


So I had to take a few photos to prove it.


The dungeon. If I close my eyes it’ll be 5 star…


For rent – Goldilock’s cottage

Dana’s 18th in Kyogle

Once again, Paul and Claire et al came through with a brilliant party for their daughter, Dana’s, 18th birthday on their property just outside Kyogle. The photos below don’t really do the evening justice but we include them to give an idea of the festivities. Click on the photos for a better view…


The crowd at dinner in the marquee erected for the occasion…

More of the crowd

Some Wilsons and others

Glen, Uncle Bruce and Claire of the Sydney Wilsons

Claire – our hostess with the mostest

Us – just to prove we were there…

Aunty Judi

Dana – well, most of Dana. We’ll call it an art shot, shall we!

More partying…

Martin and Kelly

Paul – our host for the evening. And the speeches begin…

and the speeches continue…

Jess – never afraid of a theme party. Did I mention, it was a Christmas in July party?

as is tradition in these parts… Claire had composed a poem… and what a poem!

Dana feels more comfortable behind the video camera

the poem continues and the crowd hangs on every word…

…through funny bits…

…and funnier bits…

…and even funnier bits…

…and some embarassing bits – of course…

…the poem finishes…

…the cake comes out…

…the candles are blown out…

…and it’s time to respond.

…and then presents…

…and more presents.

Next day, it’s the usual suspects, hard at work.
