Grammie came for the weekend to celebrate Elias' birthday and to watch the kids perform in the primary program at church. She helped us devour our favorite Devil's food cake with home-made chocolate frosting.
We went to the Dahlia garden in the Golden Gate park upon Grammie's request. I'm so glad she suggested it because the flowers were amazing, so many varieties and vibrant colors.
After walking and people watching in Golden Gate park...
We had a tasty dinner at 'The Stinking Rose and left fat, happy, and stinky.
And if the boy wasn't spoiled enough....
We had a little birthday party for him at the park on the actual day of his birthday. When I say party I mean that I actually called the mom's the night before and told them we were having a pinata for Elias at the park the next day. You will notice that Elias is almost the only boy at his 'party'.
But... I don't think Elias seems to mind.
What are the teenage years going to be like? I'm horrified.
There's my little miss Haven giving a timid go at the very manly tank pinata. Elias, of course, smacked the thing to pieces once we gave him free reign.
Thanks to my devoted photographer friend Michelle I present the first complete Counihan family photo since before Simeon was born.

Great family picture. Happy birthday Elias!
Next time I go home to visit, I'm going to have to try "The Stinking Rose." My mom loves it too. Very nice family picture! The kids have changed so much!
