Saturday night was party time.
\nThe All Blacks had just beaten the Wallabies in the Bledisloe Cup for the 2nd time in two weeks so all was well in Evan\u2019s world and he was ready to party by the time the full time whistle was blown \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Jesika had made a fantastic photo board for him.\"IMG_9339\"\u00a0\"IMG_9340\" \"IMG_9341\" \"IMG_9343\"
\nHe was sporting the satin shorts from Shoshannah and the flashing lit up horns & jandles that Marah sent.
\nPerfect party attire.

\nI presented Evan with a celebratory picture\u00a0that I had painted\u00a0on my way over.
\nIt\u2019s carrying my main present – which was too big for me to bring in the flesh, so he has to come home and get it \ud83d\ude09

The other main man was also suitable attired to attend the Kiwi themed party.
\nWelcome Fred Dagg<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude42
\nHe was really rocking those\u00a0gumboots<\/a>.
\nFred Dagg aka John Clarke<\/a> has always been a favourite of our family.
\nOne skit in particular always made Tim laugh and he was always commenting that \u2018the front fell off\u2019 <\/a>when things didn\u2019t go to plan \ud83d\ude42\"IMG_9309\"
\nJesika went all out as did her Chilean friends\u00a0Jacqui & Javier.
\n\"IMG_9324\" \"IMG_9326\"
\nMe and my girl\"IMG_9330\"
\nJesika & Sam getting the cake finished\u00a0\"IMG_9335\"
\nCheeky cousins \ud83d\ude42
\n\"IMG_9338\" \"IMG_9334\"
\nThere was quite a storm blowing outside the marque so lighting candles took skill\"IMG_9345\"
\nEvan with workmate Tracey and her daughter
\n\"IMG_9331\"
\nEv with Sam\u2019s present – yes he drinks tea \ud83d\ude09
\nThe ulteria\u00a0motive was to stop him drinking her cups of tea when he visits!!\"IMG_9356\" \"IMG_9361\"
\nEv with \u2018old\u2019 school mate Tracey.
\nThere were 3 Tracey\u2019s at the party so we had to differentiate with clarification nicknames.\"IMG_9365\" \"IMG_9366 \"IMG_9367\"
\nA major amount of drunken hilarity occurred of course.
\nMeasure biceps at this point…..\"IMG_9372\"<\/p>\n

Wal lost his wig later in the evening – somehow looked a lot better on Bud methinks \ud83d\ude09\"IMG_9373\"
\nI love this last photo – it was the last one I actually took that night and it shows the birthday boy in full swing.
\nHe was really enjoying himself \ud83d\ude42\"IMG_9374\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
