On Friday, August 1,

• no one we know had a birthday today, but
  
• Christina baked cupcakes like mad,



• Robert brought armloads of flowers home with him from work (in the rain),



• and Wellesley Big-Sister Cori arrived by bus from New York for the weekend, and a joint birthday celebration. We met her at the bus at 11:00, ate dumplings and eggplant at the Taiwan Cafe, and then stayed up late talking and sampling desserts for the party.
  

On Saturday, August 2,

• Cori turned 29,
  
• Christina, Robert, and Cori prepared for a party of Hobbit-like proportions,



• and people arrived to help them celebrate: Ghaz and Alyssa (late, after cricket), Ben and Lise (late, after drinking), Jef, Debbie, Tamar and Jason, Bob, Howard, Valentina, Kristijin and Olga, and Cori's friend Michael. Everyone ate a lot, played some Apples to Apples, ate some more, knocked down a killer-whale pinata on the porch that miraculously didn't end up on the street or through a window, ate even more, and played a large, crazy, three-team game of Taboo. Sadly, all the food disappeared before we could photograph it.

On Sunday, August 3,

• Robert's Grandma Helena turned 91,




• and Robert, Christina, Richard, Ada, and Helena went out to the Stockyard for lobster pie (in the rain) to celebrate.

On Monday, August 4,

• Christina turned 28,
  
• Christina and Robert watched movies and ate ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner dessert,
  
• and Christina, Robert, Jef, and Lise went out for lots and lots of sushi (in the rain), bringing a fine weekend of birthdays and eating (and rain) to an end.
