A Happy 21st Birthday Post for my oldest grandson Matthew!
He wanted Italian food for his birthday dinner, so the whole family came to our neighborhood to eat! We had a blast, and as you'll see from the food porn photos, we ate very well!
Hope you enjoy the show! 
Matthew and me:

Here's the food porn!
Here's the whole family:
The whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to Matthew and our server brought out this flaming candle!

We feel very lucky that our daughter and her wonderful husband gave us these amazing kids! Love 'em all!
And the food was exceptional.
It was a great party!
I hope you had a lovely day!
We don't get to see them often and so it's wonderful when we do.
And Best wishes to the newly certified adult!
Good heavens how young that looks from over here! 
We love our kids and grandkids!
I found myself looking around the table and pondering the fact that since we produced our daughter, all these people came to be! They are all amazing and wonderful young folks with bright futures. And we set this in motion!
I was having similar thoughts last time I was at a table with most of my current immediate relatives. Remaining sisters, most of their kids, children of passed siblings and all their spouses... now that I'm an elder, there is much to reflect upon.
Looking at the pictures of your nephew, he looks much younger than my mind's eye pictured 21 when I was that age. I look at my nephew who is now in his 40s and I still think he looks like he's 18. Funny how that works, I guess that's where wisdom of age comes from.
Yeah! The kids are coming up beautifully and their parents look good too.
Believe me, the pasta was amazing!
What a wonderful celebration, lovely family, lucky young man! Thanks so much for sharing, Peggy! 
There's nothing quite like a birthday to bring the family together over fantastic food!
You know how I am about sharing! My pleasure, always.
The family resemblance does go on!
I am far from maintaining any sort of girlish figure! I think my face is thinner than it used to be but the Belly still rules!
However, thank you for your wonderful comments, my dear gg!
We had a really good time and the food was outstanding AND ample!
We do seem to have an abundance of good genes.
