Thomas Jack Adam Harvey's 5th birthday celebrations



Morfar and NanNan left Greystone for the wilds of 'Naki country and 4 3/4 hours later they arrived to see Joanne, Steve and Thomas. What an excited and really grown young boy (it was some 14 months since we had seen him) greeted us. Well!! So much to record and report for the Cousins, Uncles and Aunties offshore in Belgium and Brisbane and for posterity.

What were the highlights? Too many for this small blog! Above are some that capture the day. L to R. Thomas in his crash helmet admiring his birthday cake, just waiting for the candles to be lit; Thomas at his blue desk (the Greystone resurrected school desk and re-painted and with decals from NanNan); Thomas ready to roll (present from the Brussels' Aunties Kris and Sue, Uncles Greg and Mike); and Thomas in full blow (Yes he got them all!).

Many friends and relatives were present from the two sets of grandparents to kindy friends and Mum's and Dads. A happy little man, but tired after all the anticipation and attention. Mum Joanne and Dad Steve also somewhat tired but pleased how well the day went.

A highlight for all was the clown who amongst many other party tricks did some excellent work blowing balloons and making them into all different creatures, one each for each of the
children. He had a helper, Morfar the clown's assistant. Never too late to learn.
