By the end of the week, they were feeling a little better, but still needed to sleep a lot, and didn't really have much energy for birthday celebrations. So we had to postpone the family gathering for a day. We headed out to a new place for us, called Piatti's.
Pretty good food, and they had a buffet for Sunday brunch, which was also good. Another good thing about that was there is always a lot to choose from so we're more likely to find something Isabelle likes and Davis likes. One of the things the kids really liked was that we sat next to a big fireplace, with a burning fire. It reminded me of my childhood when I would spend a lot of time just looking at the flames and changes in the wood as it burned.
After a good lunch, we headed outside to the patio for our gift exchange.
The weather was accommodating, and the kids also had a little trail of brick path to follow in a circle around the patio and through some bushes. Nothing goes so well after lunch than a little adventure hike. The hike, which was actually nothing more then a circular pattern about 20 feet (6 meters) in diameter, was also accented by a few noisy sparrows and a cat. Unfortunately, both Isabelle and David got very tired, and then we had a few fall and general fussiness to contend with. But lots of fun before hand made it worth while!
We still have a lot of hugs and crying though, because David is cutting his two year molars!
