Birthday Weekend!

I had a fabulous birthday weekend! On Friday, my team sent me a surprise singing telegram - dressed like a chicken who sang to me rather loudly and for toooooo long - quite embarrassing!
Here comes the chicken lady - bringing me some balloons, too!
The awkward chicken lady insisted on hugging me and singing to me real close.
Then, although delayed, the whole family arrived for a weekend of fun. We went to Osteria Marco for dinner on Friday night - yum! Riley was very excited to have visitors and full-time attention. On Saturday, we did a little shopping and tried to find something fun to do despite the awful weather.
Here is a picture of Riley taking a nap with his grandpa.
Saturday night we decided to take advantage of restaurant week and head to Fogo de Chao.....YUM! Too much meat, but so good! Little Gregory didn't even get carded....and when we ordered wine, the waiter gave it to him to smell, taste and approve!

We rarely get photos of the whole family so we were happy to run into Susan at dinner and have her snap a few pics!
After dinner, we headed home and since it was MY birthday I was able to get everyone to play my favorite game, Pictionary. We had SO much fun. If I had a scanner, I'd scan some of the funny drawings and post them. Brian, Gabriel and Gregory won, but Brian told me today THEY CHEATED. Booooooooooooooo.

I was definitely spoiled this year.
* I got quite a few birthday cards in the mail - so thoughtful.
* I got a ton of birthday posts on Facebook, text messages and phone calls from my friends and family.
* Alia gave me a cute lunch bag and a great candle that makes my house smell reallllllly good.
* Brian and Riley got a me a new carry-on suitcase which is exactly what I wanted.
* Debbie and Mitch gave me a digital frame which I've always wanted but never bought myself.
* My parents and brothers gave me a beautiful bracelet and a new dress

Turning 28 hasn't been too bad....yet. Although, I will admit now that the fun weekend is coming to a close I am realizing I am almost 30 and that sucks ;)
