Happy Birthday Pipa!

Today is Saul's birthday (also known as "Grandpa" and "Pipa" by Maya).
We did most of the celebrating yesterday since we were all free for Martin Luther King Day. All, except the birthday boy who worked that day.
Maya absolutely insisted that he must have a chocolate cake so I went to Zabar and got one. Maya also wanted to finish the chess game she had going with Pipa (she's still learning the movements, but takes it seriously).
So, we did not go out to eat tonight as originally planned. Instead, we went there, let the chess fanatics advance their game. We ordered chinese food and had the chocolate cake decorated with candles by Maya. She also helped Pipa blow them. Pictures of this are not yet ready, but here's one of Pipa from the Winter Solstice celebration:
