Jeanine celebrated her 62nd birthday today. It was the first time in her life that this auspicious occasion found her in the presence of snow. We enjoyed breakfast at the Colonial Inn with friends and Nico before attending the raising of Concord’s new and substantially larger American flag.

Later in the afternoon, we caught up with our good friends Dave and Sarah before a roaring fire, the perfect antidote for the unseasonably cold weather.

Jeanine has been known to stretch out her birthday celebration for days if not weeks. This year, she decided to cram it all into one day.

We joined Maya, Nico, Jeanine’s friend Stephane, and her son Ben for drinks and appetizers at the Mad Monkfish in Cambridge before walking over to the Havana Club where we hit the dance floor for Bachata and Salsa dancing.
