Birthday Dinner at Aaron's

Nothing like a huge dark chocolate cake to set things right with the world.
But wait!
I'm getting ahead of myself.



Had to get up early to attend the Rotary District Assembly with a short interlude for Man of La Mancha rehearsal. That is going to be a fun production!

Then headed to Costco to pick up a new printer. Gotta have a way to send my mom some pix of all the recent goings on. She's still into snailmail.

Stopped to see son Stevo at work at Jamba and he made me a carrot juice for my b-day (which was yesterday-but I had to work late).



Then it was over to my eldest son's house for a special dinner.
Wow. Better than eating out!









Garlic butter is poured over tiger prawns while a whole filet mignon roasts with garlic potatoes.

Aaron does his best Jack Nicholson impersonation and the prawns come out of the broiler.



Aaron carved the filet and this is what my plate looked like -mmmm.

This is my grandson Jamison and his mom Alison (sorry for the blink shot!). Jamie is 2.5 years younger than my youngest son "Ukuleleboi".




Then there is the "who's tallest" picture that we take at every get-together. No cheating allowed, no tippy toe. Stevo is still ahead at 6'1". I am the shortest. Even blog pal xs-homey is taller than me!



Birthday cake at last. We dispensed with the candles this year- didn't want to create a fire hazard or unnecessary light pollution. Jamie and Ukuboi retired into the office to play World of Warcraft.

Mahalo Aaron and family, for a fantastic birthday dinner!!!
