We Have a Winner!?!

OMG! I'm sorry it has taken me so long, but yesterday was my birthday and we've been celebrating since friday! I am so happy to be trying to get back into the swing of things over here!





I wanted to announce my BLog Contest Lego Ring winner!!! It's: TALERI!!! Thanks so much for visiting my shop! And I too love cookies and Milk! I think my obesession with them is what inspired the necklace!! Congrats to you!!

===============================================

Ahh my birthday! We had so much fun and got lots of goodies!!! My husband surprised me with a Disney purse I have been craving since I saw it!! We spent saturday with my Dad and took the kids and everyone to a Japanese Teppan style restaurant where you sit with other groups and the chef cooks up a great meal right in front of you!!! While the liquor was flowing and the bill was heart attack inducing, the food was FABULOUS! This is my husbands and my fave place to dine, so when my dad wanted to take me out for my birthday I knew just the place. The kids loved everything about it and the table is large enough that even if they stood on their chairs and leaned forward they were not close enough to the stove in the center. Our group was pretty big. so we didn't have to sit by anyone else. THEN the lights got dim and about 20 people crowded around us AND the worlds biggest bowl of pineapples came at me! haha! They lit a candle and sang happy birthday in Japanese!! It totally rocked! I've never had so much fun! We even got to keep the cool buddahs, gnomes and other crazy shaped cups that our drinks came in!!!

Yesterday was Easter and also the official date of my birthday. We spent it with both of my parents and had a blast again! That took us to California Pizza Kitchen for the MOST fabulous meal ever!! EXCEPT! My daugthers pizza had a ZIP TIE baked into it!!!!!! I almost died when she found it! She's 3!!! I was soo mad, but I will admit they handled it with such professionalism and when the cook came out and apologized and AKNOWLEDGED that it was his , it was a job well done. My daughter was terrified, so he brought her a special macaroni and cheese just for her and then made her a pepperoni pizza to go, so that she could eat it at home, when she was ready to try pizza again. Very admireable! They also comped her meal and mine and then sent up 3 giant birthday sundaes to celebrate!! Stay away from their fruity rum punches though as they held virtually NO liquor for the price.
