Miriam spent her birthday at a ballroom competition, but she did receive some gifts from the family on her big day.

Then we celebrated with a family dinner on Sunday, March 30.
A panorama of everyone who came to dinner: grandparents, Scotts, Wildes. We grilled chicken for everyone to enjoy.
Cousins on a hammock: Oakley, Winnie, Hudson, Easton.

Easton helping Miriam choose what to open next. Miriam received money from grandparents, sour candy from Scotts, and a crocheted bumblebee and a purse from Wildes.
The cake Miriam requested: She wanted an ugly one, so Ana delivered. The HBD stands for "happy birthday."
An then, as is customary with our teenagers, we took Miriam to a restaurant of her choosing (Hokkaido Ramen ... as always) on April 9.
