birthday feast!


yesterday, we all went to buca di beppo's, an italian restaurant downtown. it's really decorative, pictures all over the walls, statues and fountains everywhere. it was a surprise birthday party for Katrina. Everyone met there at 2:40ish. Kari was going to bring Katrina and Judah, pretending to have a coupon.


Aunt Joyce reserved the pope room, which was occupied mainly by a large table, seating about twenty or so. In the middle of the table was a huge lazy susan, and in the middle of it was a bust of the current pope. Pictures of the pope were all over the walls.

Katrina was really surprised and excited about the party when she got there. ^_^
