MIRANDA'S BIRTHDAY DINNER

My sister in law wanted to take us all out to dinner for Miranda's birthday, so the birthday girl got to pick where she wanted to eat at. She chose Giorgio's Italian Restaurant, and boy, it was yummy! Just the bread alone with the garlic butter is enough to satisfy! After our delicious dinner, we came home and had cake that Miranda made all by herself! Strawberry cake with strawberry frosting! A perfect way to end her night!

All of us including my sister-in-law on the left!

Still deciding what to have for dinner...

This picture cracks me up because of Eli's expression. Veronica must have been doing something to annoy him...lol!

You know I couldn't do a restaurant post without sharing pictures of the food! I'm sooooo predictable by now, aren't I? I ordered the Fettucini Alfredo with shrimp. I really need to get out of my comfort zone and order something different!
Photobucket
Eli's yummy burger! Yah..he's pretty predictable too!

My husbands lasagna! He said it was awesome!

Isaiah's personal pizza!! I blurred the edges on some of these pictures so you wouldn't have to see the junk on the table!

Danny & Veronica ordered the same thing. Fettucini Alfredo.

My sister in laws mound of spaghetti!!!

Oh my gosh..it took forever just to take their picture!!! By this time, I didn't care how they posed!

Love my sons shirt. Here's a close up!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    How did you find a restaurant that serves such delicious looking burgers AND pizza? And I'd go for the shrimp alfredo time after time too. Happy belated Birthday to Miranda! 12 year old girls are so much fun - especially when they have brothers around :)
