The process of preparing food for 17 people is a day-long event, but it was really nice family bonding time (when sparks aren't flying). It brought all four of us together into a small and warm space known as the kitchen. Somehow, conversation flows easily when one is chopping or stirring over a stove.
And guests arrive. Shoreh, a best buddy of mine, is an OB/Gyn resident in Maryland.
Laughter and chatting starts when friends fill the room.
Jac and Jill. Aren't they photogenic?

Birthday candles are for kids, no matter whose birthday it is! I love to see kids get excited over candles. Imagine, we all had that sense of wonder a long time ago. Benji (with mommy Laurel) is helping my mom and Paul blowing out their candles.
Cake time!
It's always nice to pose for a group photo. From L to R, David, Jac, Jill, Ryan, Paul, Ruth, and Andy.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
