David turned 41 today so we celebrated. Our friends came for dinner, friends who have known him all his life. There is something nice about celebrating with friends you have known so long, certainly it is wonderful for the children getting to know about David when he was a child. So the evening was not dramatic but very pleasant.
The Family arrived very late last night, three hours later than expected. A big storm in New Jersey delayed their departure. Despite the late arrival and the lack of sleep, the girls were a big help over the dinner party. They are seasoned travellers. Abigail arranged the appetizers and set them out on the buffet. While the adults sat and chatted during the cocktail hour, the four girls flew kites quite successfully. It was impressive. They helped me clearing the table and they helped with the general tone of the evening. They are energetic and enthusiastic and a real asset at a social event. Those four girls are growing up very nicely. They loved celebrating their father's birthday, and so did I.
