Birthday Dinner

We met Mom, Dad, and Matthew for dinner at Los Potros in Sullivan. (I think that's the name...) After the waiters were oh-so-nice to me all night, even bringing extra salsa and chips with what I perceived to be kind smiles, they tag-teamed a sneak attack - one brought fried ice cream and sang, while the other approached from behind - stealthily, mind you, and smashed whipped cream into my face! No one had any idea, and as you can see in the middle picture, my mom reeeeeally enjoyed the surprise.

It was hilarious and a lot of fun! It was the first time all of us had spent some time together since JANUARY (yikes - we live 5 minutes apart!), and it was wonderful to laugh, talk, and...get treated so kindly by the wait staff. We missed Mandy that night and I wish she could have been there, but the little twit is in Florida, probably reading a trashy magazine on the beach while the rest of us are running in and out of buildings in the godforsaken rain and cold. I'm looking forward to seeing her in a few weeks, though, when I go visit for SPRING BREAK!
