Birthdays, birthdays

So these few first weeks of January has been filled with birthday fun.

First one of my best friends Becki had her birthday and it is tradition that we (Old roommates) go to dinner. We have been doing it forever and it is a blast! I love all of these girls!

For dinner we went to a little pizzeria where we ended up staying a good 2 or more hours just chatting away. The bet part of the night would have to be that out of the 4 of us that got Becki a gift, 3 of us gave her a purse!! Yes she got 3 PURSES for her birthday!! LOL! It was hysterical once we all realized we had gotten her the same thing! LOL! Happy Birthday Beck!

Then it was my mom's birthday, it's always fun having a birthday for mom. For her actual birthday we went out to dinner and a movie with the whole family. We ate at Macaroni Grill where my mom was serenaded in Italian, then we went and watched "Marley & Me" where we all cried! If you haven't seen it and you are a dog lover, be prepared to cry! It was a good movie and we all enjoyed it.

Then we had a Sunday Dinner where we opened the gifts, sang Happy Birthday and ate cake!

It was a ton of fun and no matter what you get, my mom always loves it! She got some jewelry, make up and gift certificates! We also made her a little plaque with words that reminded us of her. She of course cried and had ot have my little brother read it but she loved it! Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!
