Two Sundays ago we attended the birthday of Josh’s cousin Diana. She threw a big party in honor of all her friends and family at the Brandeis-Bardin campus of the American Jewish University. The location was beautiful with lovely trees and hills and craftsman style buildings.

The party began outside with music, a bar, and delicious passed appetizers (my favorite).

Grandpa Gross and Raisa

Raisa and her daughter Victoria

The Ladies (p.s. I am incredibly short. I was even wearing heels.)

Aunt Jenny and Aunt Beth

Diana, the Birthday Girl

The musicians were fantastic! They even played “It’s a Small World” just for Eleanor.”

After appetizers we moved inside where Diana introduced everyone.

There was more music, dancing, and lunch.

We were at the baby table.
