Dinner Al Fresco

We dined in the open air last night with family and friends. It was a perfect evening, warm and breezy, kids running around the table, the smell of roses everywhere. Chris and Yiayia created a sumptuous BBQ dinner of salmon and steak, chicken and salads with lots and lots of wine (or sparkling lemonade for the drivers). When twilight came, we put candles on the table, and continued on with raspberry tart and cappuccinos. A truly, delicious evening.

Mariana and Mimi, Lorraine and Luca came over the mountains to visit with Yiayia and our family in the 'burbs.

Chris and Athena sporting that same smile.
The Dude looks around checking out his unfamiliar surroundings.
Predinner Twister was hilarious.
Even the Dude was an enthusiastic participant.
Mariana and the girls spun the wheel for the grownups round, but there are NO flattering pictures of that so I will refrain from posting any!
