Mommy's Birthday and Band Groupies

My birthday week started by getting 2 dozen red roses from Scott and Cara

Smiling for Mommy's birthday, Cara had been under the weather for a few days so it was great to see her perked up and smiling

Cara loves to drink whatever the big people are drinking so she had to try out my wine glass, no worries it was completely empty before she got her hands on it :)

We had a fun and busy weekend. On Friday was my birthday so the whole family got together for dinner to celebrate. Our original plans were to go to Ted's Montana Grill but after realizing Lent had already started we switched and went to the Spaghetti Factory downtown for more meat free choices. Cara and Scott got me some new Nike shoes and a game for the Wii. Cara loved helping Mommy open her presents. Our day ended with birthday cake and ice cream, yummy !!

I also want to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Belated Birthday to my grandma who turned 82 on Friday. We share the same birthday. Cara and I planned to head over there for a visit but Cara had not been feeling well for a couple of days and I didn't want to expose Grandma to any kid bugs :)

We got an early start on Saturday to be band groupies. Cara and I headed to Ft Wayne to watch the Jazz band perform at a jazz festival at Snider HS. Grandma and Grandpa A met us at the school to watch a great performance. Then after a lunch stop at McDonald's Cara and I went back to G & G's house for the afternoon for playtime and nap time. We then met back up with the band for dinner at Pizza Hut before everyone headed for home. It was a long day for Cara and a lot of time in the car she was so happy to be home and stretched out in bed and slept until 9:00 this morning!
