the big three-oh
christian turned 30 yesterday and we celebrated with a picnic in his honor at golden gate park on saturday. jordan designed adorable labels for all the food, and saturday morning i packed up 50 little lunch boxes for the guests. the food was all organic and mostly vegan, with a little cheese thrown in for good measure. it was great to see so many of our good friends there - thank you to all of you for coming and helping christian celebrate his entry into old-manhood!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN!

Oh Brooke. I’m so sad we missed this party. It looks absolutely perfect. Silly Max went and dislocated his elbow that morning. Geez–you think he could have waited for after lunch!
