We returned from our adventure in the VW campers to Santa Monica, where we were greeted by Teris family, starting with all of her aunts and uncles.

All of her nieces and nephews.

The newest members of the family.

And the easter bunny even came to give her a birthday wish.

Well - maybe that was more for the under 4' set - but was well appreciated.

Following that, there was a big dinner shindig.  The way you can tell is that you see Mason not only in a shirt with a collar - but one that is also both clean *and* white.  Wow.  Might have to wait another 50 years to see that again.

Kate was good to help TT with the candles.  Of course if there had been the right number of candles, she might have needed more than Kate.

The father kept a low profile through it all....

Just waiting to have a birthday hug with the family.

Happy happy!
