Happy Birthday!
Grace's birthday was on Thursday and Syd had made sure she they acknowledged the day, but they were saving the big party for Saturday. The Defenders as a team had gone out to dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse. When they returned home anyone who wanted to watch movies camped out in the living room.

Syd had the two chefs, Hugh and Malinda, make Grace's favorite food for dinner and her favorite cake for dinner on Saturday. When dinner was over, Syd and Zoey brought the cake out with the candles lit.

"Happy birthday to you...." they sang as they brought the cake to the table.

Syd ignored her own birthday.

	Andy, who's a little less beat-up than he was previously, provides Grace with a gift certificate to the local Cheesecake Factory. For Sydney, he provides her a pamphlet with an appointment for a Swedish massage with a note. "/Please/ take a day off. You're making the rest of us workaholics look bad." -Andy (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn was terrible at buying gifts for people, so she'd settled on giftcards so that they could decide for themselves. "What Andy said," she added. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't work that much, do I?" Syd asked. She kept busy, but she didn't consider herself a workaholic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This was the first time since he had started dating Grace than Eiltin had been with her around her parents so he waited nearby to take whatever cue from Grace she gave him on what she wanted him to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
