And finally

We had a bit of a problem in our home.  We can't quite get the birthday celebrating to a manageable level.  It isn't always appropriate to have a friend party on the actual day, Dad believe it is pure blasphemy to not celebrate on the day, and Mom feels we shouldn't subject adult relatives (grandparents and such) to the festivities of the younger set therefore opting for an intimate gathering for family.  So, basically, we end up with three celebrations which is nuts but we cannot seem to be comfortable with one.  The children, of course, have no objection to our current celebratory abundance.  We will continue to work out this issue, but in the meanwhile, here is a snapshot from the final festivity of Ridge's sixth birthday!
