and many years when we took no pictures, we celebrated.

This year's celebrations began the day before on June 26, when this envelope IMG_0266 came with the Kramers IMG_0267 IMG_0268 and had this card IMG_0269 which opened to show the punchline IMG_0270 as Suzanne opened her gift IMG_0271 and modeled it IMG_0272 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 IMG_0273 IMG_0274 and salad IMG_0275 made way for the main courses IMG_0276 IMG_0277 IMG_0278 IMG_0279 IMG_0280 and the cappuccino IMG_0281 was particularly well presented. After dinner, we met the kitchen crew IMG_0282 and then had our pictures taken with the owner in his kitchen IMG_0283 IMG_0284 before calling it a day.

06.27.05 June 27 was Suzanne's actual birthday and we were preparing for our traditional dinner at Big Fish. Sarah IMG_0285 and Lily IMG_0286 were relaxing as another picture of Sarah IMG_0287 was taken before Suzanne got her gift IMG_0288 and began to open the box IMG_0289 but first opened this card IMG_0290 which had this message IMG_0291 and then Suzanne opened the biblical glasses IMG_0292 IMG_0293 before Sarah held one of the glasses IMG_0294 and Jane held the last glass IMG_0295 as we assembled her entire set of biblical glasses IMG_0296 and were ready to head off to the restaurant.
