So today was my brother Nicholas' birthday, and we had a family get together to eat, and celebrate, and eat, and eat some more. And then, we had desert! Here's a scrumptuous homemade chocolate cake (courtesy of my sister Carrie) in the background, along with a fresh gooseberry pie (courtesy of my sister-in-law Jen), right there to my fresh roasted coffee (courtesy of Marilyn).

And its mine, all mine! Yes, my precious, we wants it we does.... :-)
