Hellas' Birthday

Today is my baby's birthday. Yesterday, friends and work people gathered at our gracious hosts' (Peter and Marita) house in St. Clair. In true Greek style, we had mountains of food left over, which will feed the families of all who attended for the next few weeks.

I was in charge of the birthday cake purchase which is a pretty big responsibility, if you know what I mean. Thankfully, everyone loved it and ate it up quickly.


That's me with the cheesy grin, getting a kiss for my troubles.
