HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL!!

Dad is 53 today!  We celebrated Saturday so that Esther would still be here.

Esther made a special pork chop
recipe with sweet potatoes AND yams (Dad's request).
And John bought some root beer at 4 Seasons.

I made sour cream raisin pie, one of Dad's favorites.

After a delicious supper, everyone (except me) played a game of Catan.  Thankfully it went rather quickly, and I think Timothy won!


Then we had dessert and presented a few gifts to Dad.












Tonight, Esther, Dad and I just returned from a beautiful midnight walk at the lake.  A full moon and perfect quietness and temperature.  A nice way to welcome in Dad's birthday!
