it was my nana's 90th birthday last friday and we went to Whitehead for the weekend to celebrate with her. She was in great form - keeping a running count of the number of cards she had and who all her flowers were from. It was really good to see her but I guess with so much going on I prefer to see her when its a bit quieter and we have a chance to chat and to hear her stories.
We had a big family gathering at my aunts house - complete with sushi. My nana used to make sushi every new year so its somewhat of a family tradition - dating back to the pre trendy sushi era! 
Iain and Majlinda were over with the kids for the occasion- Alban and Emma have grown up so much since I last saw them (christmas last year). I managed to delete the contents of my camera so only have some fuzzy ones of Alban. Emma amazingly managed to sit still long enough for a photo to be taken. Its her second birthday tomorrow - happy birthday emma.
