It was Suzanne's birthday, so just as we have done in

2004
2003
2000
and many years when we took no pictures, we celebrated.

This year's celebrations began the day before on June 26, when this envelope came with the Kramers and had this card which opened to show the punchline as Suzanne opened her gift and modeled it before we headed off for dinner.

We went to Capalbo's in Trenton which came recommended off of a web site we will probably not trust again. The appetizers and salad made way for the main courses

and the cappuccino was particularly well presented. After dinner, we met the kitchen crew and then had our pictures taken with the owner in his kitchen before calling it a day.

June 27 was Suzanne's actual birthday and we were preparing for our traditional dinner at Big Fish. Sarah and Lily were relaxing as another picture of Sarah was taken before Suzanne got her gift and began to open the box but first opened this card which had this message and then Suzanne opened the biblical glasses before Sarah held one of the glasses and Jane held the last glass as we assembled her entire set of biblical glasses and were ready to head off to the restaurant.

Once at the Blue Fish, Suzanne posed Jane posed and then Jane posed with her eyes opened as Suzanne closed her eyes and Ben looked one way and Suzanne posed with eyes open as Ben looked the other way then Ben looked down and Ben hid before this picture of Ben let me shoot this self portrait as Sarah and Ed posed so Ben posed again as Jane's hand was there is light and Jane's hand was there in dark but then my apple martini and Suzanne's cosmo accompanied the Shirley Temple as Jane's salad arrived and Ben made various faces before the salad the filet mignon Sarah's salad with chicken Ed's fish Suzanne's fish and Ben's grilled cheese with fries arrived so that we could focus on Suzanne, the birthday girl before these family portraits were taken by the waitress who then posed with Suzanne before bringing Ben's ice cream and then it was time for Suzanne to open her first present -- a necklace as Jane ate some ice cream as Suzanne opened the next bag and Suzanne tried on the earrings Before Suzanne opened her other gift and displayed it on the table Happy birthday Suzanne.
