Birthday Celebrations

Update from the Birthday Gazette: It's been a week of South Bay Celebrations as painters and carpenters continue to toil away in the summer heat. We hope to be back in our house by Labor Day weekend (?). We also enjoyed a couple of weeks on the westside at Tio and Aunt Zena's place. We feel so lucky to have so much family nearby to spend time with and to take us in.

Rye enjoyed a birthday cheese sandwich on his special day, with Grandpa and Grandma. And he saw the Goodyear blimp out the window! A perfect day!

Daddy had birthday cookies and his favorite pasta salad.

 Mommy's molasses clove cookies! Those didn't last long.

Grandma made Rye an incredible cake!

 

Grandpa found the cone candles on Amazon, with a tipoff from Auntie Julie.

 It only took six or eight tries to get the candles blown out. Nothing like cake with a little extra "somethin'-somethin'" on top.

 Rye was crazy for it, and went to bed holding two of the trucks.

 Cousins help wrangle dessert.

Gifts!!
