Happy Birthdays

Today we had Wendi and the boys over for dinner and cake. I made homemade lasagna and NGN made cheesy garlic bread and salad.

After dinner, we tried to yell over the throngs of children who were infesting the house. Poor Wendi kept trying to do things. I tried and tried to tell her to STOP helping. Jeeze, the woman wanted to clean the table after dinner! NO WAY!!!

It was nice to have them here.

I made her a cake and she neglected to bring her wonderful new camera to take a pic, so I told her that I'd post one here.

So...here's a couple of Wendi's bday cake.








Hubby and I celebrated our bdays last weekend. I'd made him a homemade apple pie. We went to the Georgetowne Inn and ate so much food that I thought I'd die! Then, when the waitress was serving dessert, the fireworks started over PNC park. It was a really nice time. Next day, he made me chicken cacciatore from scratch and we had ice cream cake for dessert.










I also got to go and see Wicked on the 14th. CL took me for my birthday. IT WAS BEYOND AMAZING! I have seen MANY musicals in my life, both movies, and in theaters. This was my VERY favorite BY FAR! If I was given the option of picking ANY role in ANY musical for me to play, I'd choose Elphaba from Wicked. JUST AMAZING! The story exceeded every expectation I had. It cannot be easy to take such a well known and loved story, and create a prequel to it. I do not even have the words to express how impressive it was. I've NEVER left a theater thinking "I'd watch that again...RIGHT NOW!", but I did with Wicked.

If it comes back to PGH, GO!!!!!!!!

The cake you made was so pretty! I'll bet it tasted pretty good too :)

I think it was so nice of Pittsburgh to set off fireworks for your birthdays! You must have connections downtown or something. The picture of you and "Mr. P." is so cute!
