Each year around Labor Day, we get together with relatives to celebrate any summer birthdays. It is always a fun reason to get together. This year we were celebrating Jakob's 15th, Sarah's 13th, and Tilli's 10th, though Peter has a 50th birthday coming soon and Frieda had a birthday not to long ago.
There was lots of delicious food! We grilled hamburgers and chicken breasts and had all the toppings. I made homemade potato salad. There was a kale and beet salad, chips, fresh fruit, veggies, and some appetizers.
To drink there was water, coffee, Izzes, and hibiscus iced tea (which is a new favorite of my mom's and I).
There was present opening.
