My Mother’s Birthday
My mother turned a year older earlier this week.
There was a family dinner, but my group and my youngest brother’s group could not make it.
We are all about making it, but this week was just crazy.
I called my mother yesterday to ask if we could take her to dinner, but my youngest brother beat me to it and was already taking her on a hot dinner date.
Well, it was likely his wife who beat me to it as my brother is not one to schedule a birthday dinner. He possibly bought his wife nothing for their anniversary this year.
Possibly.
So, we ended up tagging along with them and taking my mother to a so-sorry-we-missed-your-birthday-dinner-the-other-night-but-we-hope-this-makes-up-for-it dinner.
She forgave us.
Especially after the flan.
If you run into our group at a restaurant, it might look a little something like this.
That is the back of my head.
Clearly I am debating with my brother.
Probably about something super important like why flan is not like cheesecake.
Duh.
Yes, I allow my children to play with toys at the table when we go to a restaurant.
And sometimes we go back into the restaurant in a complete panic hoping that we can find a forgotten lego man.
Your super important takeaway today- without family, you’ve got nothing.
And always pack some toys for the kids.
Just saying.
I hope your mom had a super birthday celebration twice! Flan! I love it! Enjoy the long weekend and you are right phamily is what makes this worth while! Hugs Anne
Looks like you guys had fun. Wish we could have made it.
