BRIAN'S 16th BIRTHDAY
April 2008

Hard to believe the "little guy" is now 16 years old.
Alexia was instrumental in helping Ellen get organized to throw this fest...

Lots of nibbles to accompany the Drusian Prosecco.



Alanna FitzJensen and her Pop, Jesper.

Lucy was asleep right from the start, acing out Amy in this competition.

We started at 1 o'clock and Jesper was still awake, even if Amy and Dane were
not.

It turns out Alanna is quite good at this guitar video game...

Dane, on the other hand...

Ellen marinated a bunch of pork tenderloins...Jonathan checked
them on the grill.

Brian took care of the sommelier service...





Alanna was quite pensive...


We opened a number of bottles...one of the best was the 1997
Cote-Rotie of Guigal.

Afterwards, it was (finally) time for some birthday cake...


Alanna was quite interested in cake...



YUMM!!!
Brian then got to open some presents...he must have wished for
"I-Tunes."

He also received a lovely sweatshirt from Tuscany...
And some shoes...

Dane was eager to try on Brian's shoes...

"Hey! These are like boats!"
Well, it was getting late and Amy was still awake...even if Alanna wasn't!

Thanks to everyone for coming and helping!!!
