fri. i was able to take off work a little early and we went shopping for ellie's party. since she isn't quite able to express to us her cravings, we allowed warren to choose the birthday feast. ryan made homemade chili, i made chocolate cupcakes and cooked carrots. talk about exquisite tastes. ha!
after ellie organized the kitchen cabinets, she ate dinner. we then let her roll around in her walker as we sang 'happy birthday' and she devoured her cupcake! was quite shocked to find so much goo on her hands :)
sat. i had planned a surprise dinner for ryan to celebrate his bday, which is today. the folks vowed to babysit so i had to share the secret with warren in order to threaten him with bodily harm if he didn't behave. he quickly spilled the beans to ryan who adamantly stated 'i'm not going anywhere without a haircut'!. therefore, both boys went to the salon sat. while ellie and i played. we went to mom & dad's around 5 in order to get the kids settled then off we went to our favorite restaurant/winery [www.chaumette.com].
one of our good friends is their financial advisor, so he was able to meet us and definitely laid out the red carpet! the owner, head chef and pastry chef all came out to wish him happy birthday and surprised him a dessert tray with every dessert they had on the menu that night! was amazing :)
we stayed over at mom & dad's and yesterday finally removed all of the christmas decor.
not quite sure what we'll do for ryan's birthday dinner this evening, but we are all looking forward to it. warren had to ask me 50 times on the way to school this morning 'mom, how many is dad today?' :)
happy birthday, love!
