Were do i start, gee last friday "27th of June" our little girl ( who in the past 12 months, i believe was related to Damien Omen. LOL ) turned #18# by golly we - are getting on arn't we. lol
Well in the last 6 months or so we have been getting on a lot better than we had, which has been good and i have settled somewhat. So we decided to let her have a small party at home. She didn't make a fuss and just went with the flow and in the end decided that yes that would be good, so she made up list of a few of her close friends ( and i thought the list was going to be endless, as she has a lot of friends) but to my surprise she didnt have all that many in the end there were alot that didnt get an invite, and i'm probably thinking she didn't want to have a massive party at the house, as it might have got out of hand. So with the list made up comprising of Family and some of her friends, i think we ended up having about 38 people ( or something like that which wasn't to bad. ) My wife spent the day on Saturday getting the food organised and setting up the Party mode outside under the back Patio with lights, streamers and all that other parafenalia that goes along with having a shin dig, while i was getting the dogs pen ( that i had built for my sons dog for when she's on heat ) setup, to keep the dogs locked up and away from the partygoers that night.
Invitations had been sent out, and all was set for the night to kick off around 7.30 pm
Everyone was looking forward to having the party go off without a hitch, and we were also going to meet her Boyfriend of the last 8 months, properly for the first time. Who by the way, had been invited to dinner a couple of times, but always seemed to not show as something else came up, so our daughter came for tea but not him, and i had heard on the grapevine that he was shit scared of me as one of Danielles friends had said to him, early on in their relationship that i was en ex biker and pretty mean.......LOL ...... just the way i like it. ( keep em on there toes.) :0)
Well Danielle had gotten to our place earlier in the afternoon, so around 7.30 people started to arrive and everything started to get underway, then Dani's boyfriend and some others who were invited showed up, while i was out the front with my eldest son moving cars onto the front lawn. The first conversation that we had went something like ( the b-friend walking up and in a deepish kind of voice ..Hi - howareya - do ya drink ? REPLY was Hi - what, yea, the front doors open everyones out the back just head on thru. With that they headed off thru the house only for me to catch up very shortly picking up my drink off the kitchen bench on the way thru and the b-friend seeing this and saying oh ya drink scotch i used to drink that but me mates got me onto the bourbon instead. By this stage i thought to myself that things wern't going to go along well at all over the course of the night,but went on regardless and didnt say to much to upset my Daughter as it was her birthday.I spoke to Johnny the B-friend a couple of times over the course of the night but was mingling with everyone else as well, so was doing the rounds, only to have my daughter come up to me later that night and ask me was i talking to johnny as he had said that he had tried to talk to me a few times and that i would answer as a yep....yep....yep....to whatever he was asking or talking to me about. I did reply to her that i was talking to him and that i was also doing the rounds and chatting with everyone else as well. so all was well
Over the course of the night Photos were taken of most people including photos with Mum,Dad,Daughter and Boyfriend, (so im not holding any grudges...or i'd have kicked him out LOL )
Later on in the night, the Karaoke got a kick start and Fiona (my wife) who was pretty happy (if ya know what i mean ) was inside singing away, during this time johhny was in the house and got an earful from Mother re looking after our Daughter (hehehe) he's had a few drinks and starts to carry on about how he loves our daughter and that we dont understand to which Fiona said how long do you think her father and i have been together......25 years, which he replied.....oh you do understand and sauntered back off to his mates. (Aargh kids nowadays think they're the only ones who know anything about this stuff :0) )
Anyhow the night went along quite well, no gatecrashers, no fights, people were having a good time food and drink was had by all and the night ended well around 1.30 in the morning.
The following day when our Daughter called in, she thanked us again for having the party for her and she was wrapped with it and everything for the night. So alls well that ends well.
Oh well only one more to go and thats Nathan who will be 18 in 3 more years.
" oooooooohhhhhhhh "
Where does the time go, it only seems like yesterday that they were only babies, or for that fact we were 18 ..... :0)
Anyhow thats it for now as the Wombat waddells off ( at a very slow pace )
