Dinner at Chianti's - yum!

What a spoiled girl I am, to be able to spend my birthday surrounded by my beloved family! The night before, my fabulous mom cooked a scrumptious meal, and we ate in the backyard. Thank you so much mom, it was such a wonderful meal, that took alot of time, and I am so grateful. My cute sisters came up with a fantastic day - we started by gathering at Superstore to buy a pot luck lunch. We divided the kids up into groups, and were assigned a certain part of the lunch. We ended up with cheese buns, chips, pop, and blueberries - turned out very well! We then ejnoyed watching the kids do the bananaramma - a game where you need to measure the items on the list with a banana. I must say, that was a first for me, being measured with a banana! It was halarious seeing the kids run up to random dogs to measure them, and a man with a back pack -he must have thought we were nuts! We ended the afternoon at a park to eat banana splits - very creative and fun, thank you so much sisters! We then had a lovely evening going out the dinner, and a movie, and what could be better than eating out, laughing and chatting?! Thank you to all of you for making it such an enjoyable day - love you all!

It was such a fun day, and I do love that we get to celebrate your birthday with you every year. I wish we could all be together on everyone's birthday. I especially love that picture of you being measured with the banana - you just look so cute in it. I'm glad you decided to use it. Happy Birthday sister - I love you!

Oh - and that picture of Andrew....totally typical. I don't think I have any serious pictures of him - he's always pulling a face!

I always love our blog! You're so good at putting it together! I enjoy reading all the posts, and I love looking at all the pictures! I'm excited when you make it into a book, mom! It will be so fun to look back at it. And just to add, even though it is way late- Happy Birthday! I miss all you guys in Canada, and I had such a fun time!
