It was that time again and as we had done in many years past,
2005
2004 and
2004 party
2003
2001 birthday and
2001 party
and 2000
we were ready to celebrate though we did pause for a second to bemoan that in 2002 my camera was broken and there was a shortage of new digital cameras.
But, this didn't stop us from saluting Ben
as he picked up his things from the steps
and found his way into the car to head to school
Some hours later, the table was set
the decorations were hung
and Sarah and Ed appeared
to admire the gold fish (still alive!)
as we got tortillas and tacos
and sauces ready
and Ben
and Jane
got ready for the tomato and mozzarella
as Ben sat down
and admired all the foods
that would make Ben a happy boy at a Mexican banquet
as Suzanne
Ben
Jane
Sarah
Ed
and I sat around the table
and at the next round of photos, it was Ben
Jane
Sarah
Ed
me
and Suzanne
before I admired the decorations
and did a study in Ben
