Birthday Fun!

So being married seems to make birthdays better too! Since Amanda got through the big 3-0 last year, this year was a much lower-key affair, and it was really wonderful.  We kicked the festivities off with a great family birthday dinner for Amanda and her dad. Delicious chicken and dumplin's, a YUMMY birthday cake with candles, and some awesome gifts--it was fabulous! The next night we had such a fun dinner with our friends the Coppuses at Sam Hughes Place, including creme brulee!! On Friday for Amanda's actual birthday, Jason only had one case, so the day was open for lots of hang out time--breakfast, a matinee of "Blind Side" and a little shopping :)  Jason even bought a beautiful Nativity set as Amanda's birthday gift, as well as a bag of orange Tic Tacs (Amanda's favorite!) That night we had an incredible dinner at Flemings.  It was a perfect birthday, and Amanda is grateful to have been so thoroughly spoiled!
