Rich & Elite

Cake and Sushi

I (Elite) recently celebrated a birthday.  Birthdays are always special and doing something fun to remember them is just what we love to do.  This year, as we were both about to travel and embark on Mom Tour 2022 birthday was a bit low key. Richs mom lives in Florida, and my mom is in LA - so we both took a few days to visit them and get some sun.

A weekend filled with so much emotion! Rich celebrated his birthday with a network “shout out” in addition to family time.

Lockdown Inspired Elite to Bake!
