Anth's birthday weekend

Anthony's birthday weekend was super fun.  After sleeping in and not going to work (on Friday), Amy surprised Anthony with breakfast at a french bakery in Kirkland.  We enjoyed a chocolate croissant, Vanilla Neapolitan and a glass of milk.  Then we went and got a strawberry bubble tea with tapicoa balls.  (it was alright, but our next bubble tea will be at a place that specializes in the stuff, can't wait!)

We came home, relaxed and then went to Rikki Rikki for a sushi lunch.  That was followed by the viewing of The Other Guys (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's latest flick).  We came home, changed and then went out to Magnolia for dinner at Palisades.  After a drink each, a shared caesar salad and 2 entrees (pan seared halibut & Ahi 2 ways) with a scallop substituted instead of the crab for each of us and we were stuffed.  We had to pass on dessert, even though it was a special occasion.

This is all of the loot Anth got from Amy.  The new Madden 2011 is tough to see in the picture.  She also is taking us to a Trailblazers game in Portland this winter and that will turn into a long weekend!

These pants were early birthday gifts since Anthony needed them badly after trashing all of his pleated pants.

Saturday Lynn and Norman came over and we went to Inception (which was good, and long...2.5 hours).  Then Norman and Anthony tried watching an old Monday Night Mayhem movie but both fell asleep.  Once awake, Amy served up a gourmet meal of Mahi Mahi encrusted with potato chips, Chile Rejano, mashed potatoes and a corn and pepper salad.  It was delicious.  We than watched Date Night which was funny and finished the evening with a large slice of chocolate cake with an equally large glass of milk.  Birthdays are awesome and this was once Anthony really enjoyed!

Saturday, Lynn and Norman can over and we went to see Inception (which was good, and long... 2.5 hours... but Anth stayed AWAKE!!).  Then Norman and Anthony tried watching an old movie, Monday Night Mayhem, but both fell asleep.  Amy was cooking at the time and talking with Lynn in the kitchen, we think they saw more of the movie than the boys did.  Once the boys were done with their movie nap, Amy served up a gourmet meal of potato chip encrusted Mahi Mahi, a chile relleno, mashed potatoes with sauteed onion, and a black bean salad.  Everything was delicious.  We then watched Date Night, which was funny, and finished the evening with a large slice of chocolate cake and an equally large glass of milk - one of Anth's all time favorite snacks!  Birthdays are awesome and this was one Anthony really enjoyed!  The big 2-9!!
