We celebrated that night at PF Chang's with our good friends, The Roots. We had a great time! Out side the Tempe restaurant is this artsy bike rack...we saw some other people take a picture on it and then decided it would be the perfect place for mom's 51st picture! (there is a video of what it took to get mom up there which is pretty dang funny...but it was dark out and you can't really see it...sad...)
After dinner we went back to my mom and dad's for dessert. I made a German Chocolate Cake for the occasion which is my mom's favorite....coincidentally it's also goes well with a running joke we've had with mom ever since we found out she's technically NOT an American Citizen....it's a long story but all stems back to her roots as an AirForce brat and someone not filing the proper papers....So since she was born in Germany we have had many a laughs on her expense.... So here is the boys "German" version of Happy Birthday....
and this is mom's best friend (and my co-worker), Michelle, playing along with the joke and singing mom the only German song she knows...(who knows if they're real words?)
...sorry this last one is so dark you can't see Michelle (she'll probably prefer it that way)
p.s. Kamarah: that's so fun that you guys share a March 8th b-day!

Oh tell Mrs Corriveau happy birthday :) Elyse I had to tell you...I was going through some old papers today b/c i'm in az and my mom made me clean out some drawers and I found some of the funniest things! You and I each wrote a paper on each other and it was so funny just to read that both of our favorite colors were hunter green, purple, and magenta? And you still had your ferret, Phoebe. Also I wrote about you that you "really, really, really like steak" and you have "lots and lots and lots of friends". :) Hahaha too funny!! I might just have to make you copies and send them to you!
Yeah! I got a ps! Woo hoo! Love the bike rack picture, very good idea for the 51st year picture!
