~Tony's Birthday~

This year for Tony's birthday we wanted to go have a nice dinner, without the kids. No offense guys! I mean we love them and all, but a nice and relaxing adult dinner was long overdue for us. We took the kids to a nice food court dinner at the mall. They each got their favorite food and they were happy with their dining experience. Afterwards we took them to a lovely daycare/ play zone where they had the time of their life. Mind you, Addi is almost 6, Kaden nearly 3, and neither one of them has ever been to a daycare in their life. Addi has been hearing a lot about them from her Kindergarten friends, and what she can conclude is they are wonderful places full of kids to play with and fun things to do. The night before her and Kaden were laying in bed and we heard Addi tell her little brother, "Get to sleep Kaden, cuz tomorrows a big day for us! We get to go to the greatest place in the world, DAYCARE!" Needless to say the kids were excited to be dropped off at this place. Addi learned how to ride a scooter while she was there, Kaden got stuck in the ball pit for a bit, but Addi helped him out. There was a big tunnel crawl that we had to coax Kaden down from when we arrived, and Addi was sad to say goodbye to her new "best friend" she made there. I think I am going to be going on more dates in my future! :o)

Tony and I went to Twigs Bistro for his birthday dinner.
He had a blood orange martini, I had a strawberry lemon drop martini.
He had the steak, I had some tasty chicken and cheese stuffed pasta in a tomato alfredo. 

We had a wonderful night. The food was amazing, the atmosphere cool and relaxed, the company superb. 

We picked up the kids, and came home for dessert. Addi cut out pictures of Tony's favorite games from his old gamer magazines and we made him this poster. She was hoping to lose her second tooth on her Daddy's birthday, because she thought that would be a great gift for him, but had to settle for singing him a song when the tooth thing didn't work out. :o)
Happy Birthday Ton!
