Ever been to a one hundredth birthday party?
This is me getting some of the decorations finished on the morning of. Some of you might not have seen me looking super pregnant! I'm 35 weeks in this photo.
Mum, me and my mum's cousin from England working out places and setting the table. That's my uncle vacuuming in the background!
The birthday girl in the centre holding court with two of her delightful party guests and me on the left admiring Grandma's birthday message from the queen with one of her 92-year-old friends. The opening of the queen's message was so clearly the highlight of the day for my Grandma, awww...
Dad about to reveal the contents of his briefcase - lots of old photos of Grandma from when she was fifteen right through to when she turned ninety, ten years ago. You can also get a bit of an idea of the day - 30 guests, mostly over sixty, crammed into Mum and Dad's lounge room for a sit-down lunch. No mean feat!

I thought it was an urban myth re the letter from the queen- but i guess not! what does it say? is it hand written?
Thanks ad!! and thanks Rach!! I'll have to get some more taken while I still have identifiable fingers, toes, wrists and ankles - that may not last!!!
no, not hand written, but don't tell Grandma! I don't think she could tell...
