Today is my mother's birthday . . . happy birthday, Mom!
This evening there was a party for her, at which my sister, Jeanne's, idea for a gift from the four siblings was shown to have been a stellar one:
Is it? Could it be? She didn't ask for one, but oh, how she wanted one . . . !
It was. A fancy, ultraslim monitor.
Amazing how fast the boys got it hooked up!
Jessica chilling out with a glass o' bubbly. Bethie and Kirsten doing girl stuff.
Dmitry and Benjamin having a moment together.

Jonathan's birthday was celebrated tonight, as well . . . here he is opening his cards.
Benjamin and Bethie pigging out on cake and peppermint ice cream.
My sister-in-law, Mary, managed to accomplish what I hadn't been able to do . . . get Dmitry to play backgammon, one of my favorite games.
Uncle Jonathan inducting his nephew into the world of computers.
It was a lovely party!
