Somebody had a birthday

Last Thursday, we celebrated Garth’s birthday.

DSC_0041 Our esteemed guest of honor at his special birthday dinner.  (please note the very special “Birthday Boy” button that Harrison insisted he wear)

The birthday boy wanted a steak dinner, which of course we obliged.

I had very helpful sous chefs catching all the strawberry filling that squished out.  We’re a five star operation here.
