First, I need to post some pictures from Saturday. We drove to Orlando to visit with family & celebrate Father's Day/my birthday (which was yesterday). My brother Brett, his wife, Meghan, & their 7-month old son, Duncan, drove down from Kentucky. Megan & Matthew came over as well which made that the first time we ever had the ENTIRE family of parents/siblings/spouses/children together. Of course it had to be commemorated.
I didn't get a good picture of it, but I think this was Addison's first rejection. She kept trying to kiss Duncan & he'd push her away!
When planning this get together I'd forgotten that my birthday was a few days later; but, judging by the generosity of Target gift cards & coffee money, my family & friends didn't forget! Brett ever so elegantly wrapped my gift himself & even included a bow.
For my birthday dinner my mom made Carrabba's Chicken Bryan garlic mashed potatoes, & Darlene brought a salad. It was SO delicious!
For dessert, Megan & Mom made this to-die-for chocolate fudge cake. It's seriously the best you've ever had. Everyone sang "happy birthday" to me & they really each put their own spin on the song - it was awful! It was so bad that it was hilarious & probably the best birthday song I've had sung to me simply because they sounded so funny! I was dying laughing!
It was such a great day & I had so much fun. Tuesday evening Ray's mom came over & watched Addison for us & Ray took me to dinner at Maggiano's, one of my favorite restaurants.
We had a hefty amount in gift certificates so we lived it up: stuffed mushrooms, ceasar salad, Rigatoni D, & chocolate turtle torte. Oh my! It was delicious & we had leftovers of everything but the salad!
