Two days before Christmas, Aaron would've been celebrating his 49th birthday. He only got to celebrate 39 on Earth. I actually look forward to his birthday as it's always a fun night with friends. We met Simone and the kids and Tim and Helene and their kids at Punchbowl Reserve for tea and a play.
There was a huge game of cricket going on between a group of adults. It was a heap of Indian men against others and they were so intense and hilarious, so it gave us a few laughs. As we were leaving one of the guys spoke to us and said he hoped that they weren't too full on, because he said it was like the World Cup but it was India v the rest of the world. That cracked us up.
Just before the sun started setting, we headed to the cemetery with Hawthorn coloured balloons and Pepsi.
So grateful for these friends, who make it a day to look forward to.
I love that Tim wore an Oasis T-shirt (Aaron's favourite band) and I wore a Beatles one (another one of his favourite bands). 
It was lovely to have Josie join us this year.
Love these guys and so lucky to have them remember Aaron's birthday with us, especially as it's such a busy time of the year.
Afterwards the boys and Josie and I went and looked at Christmas lights. It was a really fun night, and I'm so glad that it wasn't a sad day.
