daisy_knotwise, Katie, Julie, and I had steaks for dinner on the patio. Then it was back in the house where Gretchen finished the lovely carrot cake with the coconut pecan frosting which was subsequently festooned with candles that were suitably lit and extinguished by the combined efforts of me, Katie, and Julie.Presents were opened, little girls were played with, and now it's time to get them to bed.
This is a good way to spend the evening of your birthday.
