early birthday dinner

Today we had a family dinner to celebrate KK's birthday. She turns 11 on Tuesday. How time does fly!! I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. I won't bore you with a birth story but I will share this funny tidbit-my water broke on her dad's side of the bed while I was trying to take a nap. Hehehehe. Kaelyn picked Vince's Spaghetti for her birthday celebration. So yummy. On her actual birthday she's looking forward to making coffee cake for her class and hearing her name on the intercom. Guess they announce the day's birthdays at her school. Later that evening, she's going with the hubby to an Angel's game. Ahh, to be a kid again...

looking at the menu....hmmm, so many choices lol

the birthday girl looking kinda glum (don't know why some of the pics are blurry...Drew was the photog again)

it's a party for cryin out loud!! perk up kid!

oh lord, the emo years are starting early

jeez, it's a party, not a funeral!

Gawa

think Brandon doesn't like the soup...it's not like there's corn in it!

mmmmm bread

tasty!

emo hair getting in her sauce

big ass plate of mostagna, the newest item on the menu...it's like lasagna but with mostaccoli noodles

woohoo a smile!! her foul mood must have been due to hunger, not emo-ness

stuffing his cheeks for the winter

"you mean some day I'll have to pay for my own dinner??"

trying to figure out the childproof lighter

lighting the 11 candles

she didn't want the employees singing for her so we sang...extra loud...probably the loudest we've ever sang

happy birthday kid

the hubby using his mad geometry skills to cut into the birthday pie...she picked out a cookies n cream ice cream pie....it was scrumptious

the photog getting a picture taken

she got a couple games for her PSP, some iCarly stuff and money

don't squeeze her too tight, she might pop after all the food we ate!

We have leftovers for days. I think the portions get bigger and bigger every time we go. It's kinda fun just to people watch there also. We saw some interesting outfits on the older crowd. I had no idea capri overalls were in style.

Not much going on this week except for the Angel's game and football this coming weekend. Thankfully, we only have to drive to Yucaipa for the game and not to Thermal. I won't be sad if I never have to set foot in that town again.
