November 2

DSC_2123Jere and Kristen traveled to the restaurant with us, so I took a picture of them on the entrance steps.

DSC_2126By the time I took a few pictures, the others (Jeff & Chris and Roy & Deb) had arrived.

Mark and Diane – we miss you on days like this.

Now to remember who got which meal.

We especially liked that we could choose from the breakfast, lunch, or dinner menu.

DSC_2140The dessert choices. Oh, my!

DSC_2142They put a candle in Jeff’s dessert. He blew it out so quickly that I missed the photo op. His birthday was on October 25, but this was the first date that suited all of us.

I think two couples shared this dessert.

I couldn’t decide which photo I liked best, so decided to use both. 🙂

DSC_2144I love this family of ours 🙂
