Christy's Birthday shortly before Christmas poses some unique opportunities and challenges. On the opportunity side we typically manage to get a large part of the family together for a dinner. On the challenge side getting space for 10+ people a few days before Christmas is always difficult to reserve.
This year Christy mentioned a long time ago that she would like to go to have Brazilian food. She originally intended to have a party with our friends from Church. That was not possible for scheduling reasons. So Thomas tried to surprise her and arranged for an evening with Brazilian food in Brisbane.
The whole plan was almost upset when Christy, not knowing about the plan, decided to round up her family to go to Indian food in Brisbane. Lucky nobody disclosed the fact that we had already reserved another place.
The evening turned out to be very nice. We had all McMurries (and Asia's friend Damian) present. Sydney did not experience too much. She fell asleep a few hundred meters before arriving and did not wake up until the next day.
