Happy Birthday Annie!

We had a fun day helping the birthday girl celebrate!  A few rounds of bowling and out to dinner.

I sometimes post a picture of the birthday person as they looked many years ago but in this case I thought I'd just say look at Lily..... you get the idea.

Curran, Party of Four

We were invited to Chez Curran for a wonderful Sunday dinner. Greeting us at the door was Miss Liligan who had been preparing all afternoon for our lovely evening!

She seated us and then provided the menu for our perusal. We had the "special"!

It was a scrumptious, old-fashioned pot roast with onions, potatoes and carrots! It was the Sunday meal I had a lot when growing up. (it's one of my favorites)

Here are the satisfied customers.......

Dinner was followed by our choice of entertainment (found on the back of the menu). We opted for a rousing game of Memory even though our "server" was really trying to push the Monopoly game. Lily used to beat us at this game all the time when she was about 4 years old so I thought we were in for defeat! She must have inherited that great memory from her Mom, because it was Annie who really put us all to shame.... It's only a game, right??

It was a fun-filled, entertaining evening with two of our favorite people......(I think we have about 17 favorite people for those of you keeping score)! Getting ready to leave I noticed a sweet note on the refrigerator. Lily sure loves her sweet mama!

Aiden loves this big family with so many birthdays...... which means lots of birthday cake....yum.yum!

Hope you had a great day Annie!
