More Birthday Celebrations

When we say that Thanksgiving starts the "party season" in our household, we are not kidding! Between our anniversary, John's birthday, my birthday and all the various holiday events, we just keep going, going, going with the fun. First, a huge Happy Birthday to my sis Kathy! We are only 360 days apart. I loved to tease her when we were younger telling her that my birthday came first, therefore, I was older. Now that we have grown up, I'm happy to let her be the older one! Hope she has a great day!

Keeping with our tradition of a movie & dinner event for the birthday person, we decided today was the day. We headed downtown. It had snowed a little last night and a little more this morning, but what was really cold was the wind. The weather channel said that it was 20 degrees F, but "feels like 6 degrees" because of the 33 mph winds. So we took our walk from our parking spot to the movie theater very briskly!! We saw "Bolt", which was fabulous. I would highly recommend it. Today with my movie reward, we got 1 free ticket, 1 free popcorn and 1 free pop. How cool a treat was that?After the movie we went to take advantage of the free carriage rides they are having for the holidays. Did I mention that it was cold outside??? We had a great time anyway because a family with two small girls rode with us and we enjoyed listening to their excited voices during the ride.
After that, we walked to The Davenport Hotel to see the Tree Elegance display located on the mezzanine. They had some lovely trees. Each had a theme and all the prizes included if you won the raffle for that tree matched the theme. But really, our favorite tree was the one in the lobby. Then we headed to PF Chang's for lunch. We enjoyed some sweet & sour chicken, ginger chicken, lo mein and lettuce wraps. Way too much yummy food so we did not save room for dessert. We even have leftovers for dinner tonight. All-in-all a very fun day with my family!!
