I Had a Birthday!

I guess that's worth mentioning on here. It was on February 4th and I turned 26! I think it's a good age to be. My birthday was on a Monday, which is Bryan's SUPER long day at school so we decided to have dinner and "cake" and home and then go out to dinner the next day. Bryan picked me up a gyro for my birthday dinner and he and Max had something from home, I can't remember what though. Bryan made my mom's delicious cream cheese pie/cheesecake thing that I hadn't had in forever! I'm not a big cake fan, so this was perfect for me. The only downside is that it's a lot smaller than cake so it didn't last as long as I would have liked. Next time we'll have to make two. I had been craving shrimp, so we went to Red Lobster for dinner the next day; sooooo worth it!
 I got a wonderful stash for my birthday this year: Hershey's kisses (I love having my b-day so close to Valentine's day), The King's Speech, Extraordinary Measure's, Walmart gift card (to buy new nail polish), a super cool bamboo plant, and best of all, tickets to see Sweeney Todd!!!! We LOVE Sweeney Todd and it was such a good production! We had second row seats and Bryan even got pointed out as a potential victim during the song "A Little Priest".
 Bryan took Max with him to get my gyro and the owner was so kind to them. He gave Max an apple and Max munched on it the whole way home and didn't put it down until he was finished. (This picture obviously reminds me of what the boys had for dinner: leftover pizza. Yum.)
 Mmmmm!
 Close-up!
 The best picture I could get with Max.
 This really makes me want to make another pie thingy (I don't know what it is technically).
We forgot the camera when we went to Red Lobster, so this is the only picture we took with Bryan's phone. He's stingy with his phone. Max had shrimp for the first time though and he actually liked it!

Cali 6: The Final Chapter

I guess it's about time I finish up my California posts and catch up on everything else that has been going on. I don't know why it took me so long to finish up here, since there are barely any more pictures to post from our California trip.

Old Friends
I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting up with my great friends from high school, Ashley Daley and Tammy Frustaci. We've met up two years in a row now and I sure hope we can keep up this newly established tradition!
 Max and Tammy's kid, Paulo, are only three weeks apart in age. I love it!
 Paulo is such a sweetie! He gave Max a super long hug and hugged him again when we were saying our goodbyes.
 Ashley and her cute pregnant belly. I can't wait for her to have that sweet little girl!

Saying Goodbye
 Some final pics with the fam-bam before heading back to Spokane the next day.

 The morning we flew out.
 Playing with Grandma early in the morning while we finished packing.
 Max loved looking out the window during take-off. On the second flight, he fell asleep while we were still taking off, still sitting up and looking out the window.
Snow is what we came home to.
