What a great birthday dinner with my Expedition 65 crew mates! My #SpaceBrothers went all out: quesadillas and tortilla-pizzas with real cheese! Cookie decorating! Cake with chocolate “candles”! We haven’t unpacked the ice cream yet, so I guess that means a 2nd party? ???????????? pic.twitter.com/h0D85fz6ei— Megan McArthur (@Astro_Megan) August 30, 2021
