Todd's the Man!
Today was Todd's birthday! He got to work and found his desk all decorated with birthday stuff. They have a celebrations committee at work and they decorate people's cubes for their birthdays & work anniversaries. Todd's actually a part of the committee, but obviously someone else was assigned to decorate his cube today. :o
I invited AJ & Meera to dinner with us, because Meera's birthday is the middle of this month, and because we love hanging out with them. :) They came over bearing a gift!
Three of us being goofy:
I got Todd some stuff from Pampered Chef:
Then we went out to dinner @ Piatti's in La Jolla. LOVE that place! I had gone there a few years ago with work people, but had forgotten about it. Then last summer we went to a Piatti in San Francisco and remembered there's one in San Diego too! The carb-lover in me love their homemade bread and especially their garlic and cilantro balsamic vinegrette oil dip!
We had so much fun with AJ & Meera. We haven't had a chance to hang out with them, just us adults, since Andon was born. We love Andon of course, but it's also great to have a night where we could concentrate on each other again. We were reminded all over again why we love AJ & Meera so much, ever since the fateful day they showed up at our home fellowship Bible study several years ago. There's no better way to celebrate a birthday than with good friends and good food!
Happy birthday, Tau-de!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is, in a word, FUN! I don't know why, but for the past few weeks, I've had this strange urge to travel to San Diego and eat at all the restaurants.. ;) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Todd! Looks like you guys had a fabulous night!
ReplyDeleteYum! I haven't been to Piatti in a zillion years. There's one in San Antonio where I went to school.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Todd!
