I'm back in snowy frigid Boulder after a week in mostly sunny Scottsdale, and the memories of our friend-filled birthday celebration week are helping keep me warm.
On Brad's actual birthday night, we had Japanese food at Sushi Roku restaurant at the W Hotel, where they did a wonderful job of making the evening special.
The happy group:
The happy couple:
Brad wearing the beautiful scarf his mother made for him - as a headband:
Excellent tuna sashimi:
A thoroughly chocolate cake:
And fireworks:
We had a lovely experience at the Sanctuary at Camelback, playing tennis, taking advantage of the spa, and lounging by the pool and hot tub. I've always said that I can't imagine living in a place where there isn't snow in wintertime, but I may be changing my mind!
Flowers blooming in December:

The best part of all, of course, was having friends and family gather together to celebrate. We're looking forward to next year!
Friendly wishes from Tuscany

Very nice Amy. If you want snow in wintertime you can always hop on a plane and go visit it ;-)
