Day 137: Marla's birthday celebration

Happy birthday Marla! We had Jamin's folks over for dinner this evening, though her actual birthday is the 16th. Special surprise-- Jamin's brother Bill was in town, so we were also able to have him and his daughter Elena join us for dinner. Nice to visit with them, and nice to have less cake sitting around our place! We put candles on the cake for her to blow out (she said she couldn't remember the last time she had candles), and then had her cut the first piece. Elena said that was a tradition for the birthday person to cut the first piece so we went with it. We also attempted a timed family picture of all of us, which I think is pretty cute even if it looks like Zaria's ready to attack my head.
