happy birthday kirsten

Saturday night party!

Kirsten is turning forty!

Everything was in order before everyone arrived, so pretty in the house.



 
The birthday girl:

Everyone congregated in the garage, how people do.

It was a very easy going evening, lots of food and laughing.

Kirsten ordered so much Canes, so much macaroni and cheese.

Delicious.








TWO cakes, and Bennie agreed ahead to be the ice cream scooper.













Kirsten, thank you for forty years of fun, friendship, laughter.

You are a talented and delightful person and have been your whole entire life, quite literally good at everything.  It's crazy.

Thank you for being ours.  This family wouldn't even be who it is without you.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.

Nothing but love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
