Birthday Dinner at Madera

by
Grace and I celebrated another trip around the sun together on our joint birthday. The kids and I met Grace at the Rosewood on Sand Hill for dinner at Madera. The food was delicious and the service was even better. It was all topped off with a beautiful sunset and dessert. We’ll definitely go back.…

by
After the controlled chaos of inviting every kid in Lucas’s grade over last year, we dialed it way back this year. Lucas is still really into Harry Potter, so we had a toned-down version of the party Olivia had last year. He had just a few of his buddies over for lunch, some activities, and…

She had planned a very thoughtful getaway to Carmel Valley Ranch, which included unlimited golf. Something came up and we weren’t able to go. Not only was she super understanding, but…

Despite pleading for no gifts, everyone pretty much ignored us and got Olivia something lovely for her birthday. She was so excited by her wonderful presents, I think she forgot that Christmas had just passed. Thanks to everyone for their thoughtfulness.
