Happy Birthday to me

For the first time ever, I got to celebrate my birthday with both my parents and my children, along with other wonderful family members! Too bad that Rhodri wasn't there too - we missed him. Anyway, we were invited to dinner at Uncle Phil and Libby's house, and here we all are (l to r): Uncle Phil, cousin Ruby, me, Dad, Tryfan, Mom, Rhiannon, cousin Molly, Grandma Bucky and [Aunt] Libby. Cousin Wheeler was there too but he left before this photo was taken.
Libby cooked up a wonderful dinner and Grandma Bucky made some Chocolate Applesauce Cake (always a treat!) for the occasion. Tryfan was delighted to discover the two kittys that live at their house. Here he is with "Chief".
Grandpa Carl is very happy to have the kids sit on his lap, and the kids were happy too although this photo doesn't capture it too well.
We are still adjusting to the 9 hour time zone difference, but it hasn't been as painful as we have experienced in previous visits. The kids woke up the first night at 2:30am hungry and ready to party, and last night they tried to do the same but I made everyone stay in bed and go back to sleep.
