What better excuse to eat and photograph?
I seem to have done a lot of each...
The night before the day before the day after my birthday
The festivities

../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0712
began the night before the day before the day after my birthday with a salad
and a box from Chez Alice
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0713
as Jane was online
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0714
Benjamin was playing chess
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0715
and Suzanne was getting ready
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0716
for the treat to come. My attempts at self portraits worked badly
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0717
and then even worse
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0718
so someone else had to try to capture me
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0719
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0720
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0721
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0722
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0723
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0724
as Jen tried to get Jane
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0725
to look better
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0726
but it took a few tries
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0727
to get to this
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0728
as my birthday was toasted
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0729
and the tortillas
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0730
were flashed
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0731
into view.
The main event, as always, was when the cake appeared
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0732
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0733
and we took family pictures
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0734
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0735
to go with the birthday pictures
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0736
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0737
and one last look at the cake
../../../Sabbat/2003/02.27-03.01.03DavidBirthday//IMG_0738
before we devoured it.
