Birthday Girl

It's a day early but we had our birthday celebration cake today.


Ishbel decided to do the honours herself, taking care not to get burned by the matches.











Grinning and bearing it through the typical Cowan/Colquhoun tone-deaf rendition of "Happy Birthday". The things you have to put up with for a few presents . . .


















Big puff and it's out.


















At (almost) 8, Ishbel is now old enough to cut the cake herself.













And made sure the Mad-Aunt-in-the-cupboard (wearing her OTHER stripy shirt!) got her piece!

Showed it to Rory and he says Happy Birthday. Tell your mum to ice ALL the cake or turn it when photo taken. Hope you had a great day.
Love GT, GD and Rory

I am glad the cross eyes are a Cowan trait. We Shearers can't manage it!!

Ishbel has set a precident - Rory is demanding that he light his own candles on his birthday cake. I hope the NSW rural fire service hoses stretch as far as March Road!!!

Rory has his Tshirt and Grampa Tom has his sweatshirt, add one or two garden hoses and you'll be FINE!
