Happy Birthday Baby!

Posted in Family Events at 7:25 pm by winz

My man turns 31 this week and we were able to spend some time celebrating his big day last night. His actually birthday is Tuesday but it’s also the first week of school, unfortunately I don’t anticipate being home early so that we can really celebrate. I thought Saturday was a much better, more relaxed option. Matt chose dinner and a movie for his birthday treat. He’s always looking for any opportunity to see a film and knew I’d be game for one to celebrate his day. We enjoyed a terrific dinner at Fago de Chao in Addison, TX. We arrived a little early and were able to enjoy a nice relaxing drink before dinner, my drink of choice right now is sprite with grenadine…it makes me feel like I’m getting a treat too and I have flashbacks to my Shirley Temple childhood experiences! Once being seated we headed right for the salad bar. I LOVE the restaurant’s salad bar and enjoy eating so many wonderful cheeses and veggies not to mention the amazing meats they serve (iron rich of course). Matt was in heaven with the prosciutto and Parmesan Reggiano, he said it was such a treat to have his favorites meats and cheeses.

After dinner we headed into downtown Dallas to see a movie at the Angelika theater. This particular theater provides a nice collection of independent films along with a few blockbusters. Matt chose “American Teenager” for the evenings film. It was a wonderful movie which successfully captured the life of high schoolers today and beautifully. It was a great precursor to the school year on which we are about to embark. The entire evening was wonderful, I was just thankful to spend some time with my old man! Happy Birthday baby I hope this year tops them all!!!
