The Celebration

Another weekend has flown by. The weather is definitely starting to change, we have piles of leaves all over our front yard(blown over from the park). We got rain last week but it looks like Santa Ana winds are suppose to start on Wednesday and start to die off on Sunday :(

But luckily, Saturday was a beautiful day. We all got together for my mom's birthday at Sweet Basil. We had a party of 15 and were lucky enough to get the whole back patio to ourselves. The food was amazing and the portions were just right. The nights have been a bit cooler lately, but they had a plastic covering all along the patio which kept the temperature warmer.

A small treat for the Birthday Girl and then it was back to the house.



The cake was amazing as usual, my mom's favorite, white cake with buttercream frosting and lemon mouse filling. It's pretty sweet though and even Jamie couldn't finish all his frosting. My mom on the other hand had no problem!

We had a relaxing Sunday, we went out for a bit but watched movies in the evening. David came back from his trip around 5:30pm. Conviently, just in time for dinner. Luckily, we made a whole Shepherds Pie so there was plenty to go around. He had gone to Vegas on Tuesday and Wendesday and then was planning on going to the Grand Canyon, but Thursday morning we got a text that he was in San Francisco. He decided to drive the 600+ miles from Vegas to Frisco. He stayed a few days and started to make his way south on Saturday. He had a great trip and got to see quite a bit. Next weekend we are planning on doing a bit of hiking but if the Santa Ana winds start up we may have to decide on something else.
