Daddy's plate that I made at MOPS the week prior! I used chalkboard paint on the edge of the plate so all I have to do is erase and rewrite! Genuis!
Daddy and his princess (though I didn't get anymore shots of the birthday since Abby decided to be a little stinker at the restaurant) :(
Dan's Tiramisu cake....oh, it was simply delicious!!!!
Yep, it was tasty! :)
Okay so Dan's birthday is right around the corner (actually exactly 6 days) from mine so we had another FUN day to celebrate. We started off the morning singing to Daddy and using my new plate I made at MOPS the week before. The plate turned out great and was a big hit with the family! I just love how it came out and we can use it for everyone's birthday over and over again! Thanks to my friend, Holly Doyal, for showing us how to make it at MOPS!
Dan chose a delicious restaurant to go to that night. We went to Texas Street Tavern. What a great place! The food was spectacular and drinks weren't bad either. It is a bit pricy but it was worth it for Dan's birthday. They don't have a children's menu but they made some chicken strips for Abby to eat. Well, she didn't eat much of it or the fries for that matter since they had some sort of "seasoning" on them. It was a bit spicy so we had to take off the breading. I think that's where it all started. Well, thinking back I think she was already getting tired since it was nearing 6:45 by the time we got our food. She had a long day and it was showing. Anyways, she had a meltdown and it just went downill from there. Sorry to say, but she had to be taken to the restrooms for a well deserved spankin' . Not what Dan was looking to do on his birthday. Luckily her food came early but she barely ate a bite. All she wanted to do was lay down in our laps, cry and fall asleep. Our food was oh so delicious and we'd love to go back again. Maybe this time without the kids...
Back at the house everyone got ready for bed and fell asleep early. We decided to wait till the following day to eat cake. The tiramisu cake was to die for! Oh, I probably could of eaten the whole cake by myself if I wanted to. :) In the end, Dan had a wonderful birthday and it was a great day to spend it with our family.
Thanks Claudia! Ha, no new photo yet! We are trying to get one done by my friend who does our family portraits. Seems like we can never coordinate with Dan's work schedule. I took some with the kids a few weeks ago so once I get those I'll post them. Too bad Dan couldn't join us that morning.
