Pergola, Ta Da!

Here you have it, the fruit of last 3 days' effort, mostly HD's and Adi's, with a sprinkle of help from Pawpaw. The structure is parallel to the ground; I angled my camera for a touch of drama.

At night, we had a huge birthday celebration, complete with 6 or so cakes and candles. It turns out, in HD's family, December and January birthdays abound, so we just clumped them into one party (see extras below; Pawpaw took them as I was busy celebrating myself and others).
