My Birthday (Back in November :0) )

For my birthday my sweet honey bought me one of my favorite movies: Pride and Prejudice. He knows what I like. My parents were also arriving from Arizona on my birthday to visit for a couple of weeks. I heard the doorbell ring and to my surprise I had a Birthday song from my Abuelita and my parents with a Birthday balloon. It was sweet!

Then they let me pick where I wanted to go out to eat for dinner. For some reason, I was craving seafood and since they just built a new Red Lobster down the street I thought why not. Of course it has been like 5 years since the last time I ate at Red Lobster.



It was fun to have extra family to celebrate with. Unfortunately, our waitress wasn't very nice. And of course they had to run out of Mahi Mahi right before I ordered the dish. The sad thing is...that happened 5 years ago too. I still have not had my Mahi Mahi at Red Lobster! :(

But watching my daughter have a lobster experience was all worth it. You see Cassidy is always asking to visit the lobster tank at Walmart when we go. So Derek asked the hostess if Cassidy could see the lobsters. The hostess was so nice and actually took out a lobster from the tank and let Cassidy get close and personal with this new friend.



She enjoyed the Lobster experience until Grandma ordered a lobster dinner and the Lobster dish was right across from her. We had to explain to Cassidy why we eat some of the creatures we call "our friends." She seemed to be sad a little bit but got over it quick. Then before we left the restaurant she asked me, "Mom, do we eat giraffes?" I had to ease her mind and say "No!" I hope she doesn't think we're going to eat our dog next. Just kidding!



The best part of the evening was the COMPANY, good laughs, and my Chocolate Cookie dessert! Thanks family for making my birthday fun!
