Chris' Birthday!

For Chris' birthday, we celebrated many times!
First, the Saturday before, Brian and Kim took Elle to Chuck E. Cheese's with their girls so Chris and I could go out to dinner!
We found a great restaurant that was a bit on the noisy side, but yummy--
Except for the edamame. THAT was drenched in a sticky hot HOT sauce, and since you eat it with your fingers, we had hot sticky fingers and hot tongues. BLEH! Not good.
But the dinner was fabulous and the dessert was even better!
We ordered Almond Joy ice cream which was vanilla ice cream with delicious hot fudge (and I'm not really a hot fudge person, but it was goo--ood!), coconut, almonds, and cookies! Oh boy it was yummy!!
Then,the Sunday before, we introduced his aunt, uncle, and cousins to the beloved Jell-o cake (click here to see the recipe). They had fun thinking of many variations.
ON the actual birthday, we just celebrated with our little family. We had biscuits and gravy for dinner (my first time--yum!)
Elle and I made another Jell-o cake (same kind, of course), and then Chris opened the gifts (as pictured above :)

Happy Birthday, my Love!
