Mom's 50th Birthday Party

Christine's Mom turned 50 on August 25th and we had a big party for her at El Torito Grill in Rancho Santa Margarita, out on the patio. It was super fun!

Christine's 25th Birthday in Palm Desert

Dinner at Mikado

 

 On Sunday, Christine's actual birthday, we went shopping at the Cabazon Outlets, then visited with Curtis' parents, and then had birthday dinner at Christine's parents' house (from whom she got the Toby Gerhart, former Stanford almost-Heisman-Trophy-Winner Jersey), before she flew back to the Bay Area for her last week of work. It was fantastic weekend.
