Last of the birthday celebration

We took Dilan to Denny's on her actual birthday morning - after all, the grand slams were totally free so it seemed like a great idea. Plus, we woke up in a big snow storm so we thought we could get in pretty easily. The roads were bad but since the restaurant is less than a mile away, we decided to try and make it there. What fun Dilan had eating pancakes and it was nice to spend the morning together as a family somewhere other than our own kitchen. We wished her "happy birthday" several times and there was a man in the next booth who told us it was his birthday as well - not his first birthday but his birthday nonetheless. He was probably in his late 60s and sure enough his father (probably in his 90s) was at breakfast with him sharing in the day. It was very sweet.

I also posted pictures of Dilan's present from PawDee(my dad) - Drew showing her how to ride it and Dilan getting on it too. She really likes it and we appreciate my dad getting her gift to arrive in time for her party and all!

Haha! Too cute! We actually went there too... to the same Denny's. It was around 11:30 though, probably later than you. And it was PACKED!!!!! We had to wait for 40 minutes, but I just took the kids next door to the store, so it wasn't bad. Can't beat a free meal! Looks like she had such a great birthday!

Too much fun! We have given up on going out to breakfast. We seem to have the worst luck in finding packed restaurants no matter what time or day we go. Glad yours was good.

Hey, I enjoyed your R.S. lesson on Sunday.
