It felt like we went away to a Caribbean island for Cyn's Birthday this year — but really we were at Habana Alma de Cuba in the West Village.  It was so nice being surrounded with the warmth of close friends and good food (altho it was freezing cold outside!)  You can never really go wrong with that combination.  Paul ended the night with a serenade on his guitar to Cyn.  Cyn had tears in her eyes — it was so sweet.  Then Cyn and Paul sang a few songs together as well.  It was a birthday treat for all of us!  Poor Keila had a bit of a fever, so she wasn't her usual social self — but she still was able to put on a brave face.  Kai, as usual, was Mr. Social Butterfly.
