It was a bittersweet night, but we brought Levi along in pictures and Dave gave a heartfelt toast that we'll save for his memory box. We drank sojutinis, we ate, some tried new tastes, we laughed, we talked about Levi and enjoyed our dinner as a family. Next year, we hope that Levi will be with us to celebrate and he can feel the abundance of love that will surround him.

What a great, lovely way to celebrate Levi's birthday. Even though you could not be physically together, you were together in your hearts.
Sounds wonderful! I was so surprised to see that restaurant name...we literally lived 2 blocks down from that restaurant for 2 years about 10 years back...I remember when they first opened the restaurant! we LOVED that neighborhood! happy Birthday Levi!
