This morning we were woken up by Dominic and the smoke alarm!!
Happy Birthday Kenz - I bet you love waking up to a smoke alarm...
Anyway today didn't work out as planned, Kenz just wanted to have her birthday on the beach and it was a miserable day after the big storm last night - and we were pretty worried and wanted to get home to make sure our house was still in one piece since we're in the Brisbane North West - we had heard on the news that The Gap and Ferny Hills copped it and they're only 5 minute from us.
We gave Kenz her birthday present - she wanted a Cabbage Patch Doll and her main surprise was waiting at home for her (a new bike!)...
We got home fairly early to find everything intact - thank god!
Then I had to drive to Samford to pick up Oscar from the kennels and that's when I realised the extent of the storm!! All from Keperra, through to Ferny Grove and Samford there were power lines done, trees just demolished, shredded leaves and branches on the roads and all of the intersections were out!!
When I got home with Oscar (and the kids) Ben's parents had arrived to celebrate McKenzie's (and Dominic's) birthdays.
Mary bought a sponge cake and she decorated it with McKenzie. It was so nice to catch up with them.
McKenzie then wanted to go to McDonalds for her Birthday dinner - so we headed off to Newmarket, and I'd imagine there were a few people there that had lost power..
When I get a chance, I'll upload some of McKenzie's birthday photos - unfortunately with the storm, being down the coast and racing around, we didnt' get to take too many photos..
