Birthday Month-Surrogate Family Dinner

One January Sunday evening I was invited to celebrate my birthday with my surrogate family.

I used to be a nanny for this family and lived with them for many years.

They recently came back into my life.

They decided to throw a "30 second omelet" party Julia Childs style.

Excellent idea.

We watched Julia Childs make the omelet via video first to get some tips.

It is not as easy as it looks, but we got it down in about 45 seconds.

After dinner we played DJ Hero.

When I first met this young lad he was two. Now he is fifteen!

Bizarre.

Oh, and he likes all of the same music as I do now.

Extra bizarre.

Birthday cake with way too many candles.

I would rather not claim my real age.

This guy is all grown up too. He is an excellent pianist and smart as shiv.

We missed out on a group picture, but I had a great time with family and extended family.

Thank you!
