Oliver’s birthday landed two days after Thanksgiving this year. Pam and Jeff were able to join us for the day. Sarah had been pummeled by a rough case of strep earlier in the week, but everyone was healthy by the weekend. We went for a walk around Lake Como, ate cake, and enjoyed more Thanksgiving leftovers.

We began the day with Oliver’s presents.

Breakfast from PJ Murphy’s (who also baked the cake)

Suited up for a chilly walk around Lake Como.

The never-to-be-topped “Amazing Lotus Flower Birthday Exciting Candle” (which may have slightly traumatized the birthday boy).

In case we run out of birthday cake… we have a whole cheesecake!
