Probably one of the best in my life. I have some of the most wonderful Friends and Family in the world.
A pretty quick and easy outline would be this:
Friday: Valentines (/ impromptu birthday) Dinner
Saturday: Birthday Part / The Fam's (Papa and Chii's) Arrival
Sunday: Park Day with The Fam
Monday: Lunch, Movie, and Ice cream with "the Fam"
To break it down into even more awesomeness:
Friday was my night to take Dave out to dinner for Valentines Day. We went to Shogun's (A Japanese SDteak House / Hibachi Grill) and ended up sitting at a full table with another young couple, and Husband, Wife, and their two kids (Who were very well behaved and sweet) Dave and I both had a trio sorta meal with veggies, rice (fried for him steamed for me) Filet Mignon, Lobster, and Teriyaki Chicken, plus the soup and Salad.
While we ordered Dave saw the 'celebrating a birthday" bit on the menu, and so... at the end of the meal, I had to stand up on a chair, hold a pinapple boat, and smile whilst the servers sang happy birthday and a special Japanese celebration Chant. But I pulled Dave up on his chair and we took a picture together. It was freaking hilarious and very fun!!!!
Saturday Was pretty normal Woke up, got to sleep in a little bit, and Dave came home with cake(s) in hand one white sheetcake, and one red velvet, God bless him for being so sweet. We pretty much hung around the house until the afternoon when people all started showing up so we could head over to Party Central, where all 13 of us proceeded to play a rousing game of Putt Putt. YAY! I don't think anyone actually kept score, but we took tons of pictures and had a goofy old time. Though we kept having to remind ourselves we were in a family environment... LOL
After Putt Putt we goofed of some more and then took two turns around the go kart track (there could only be 10 cars on the track at once i guess so we split it up ten and three lol) We finally left the poor population at Party Central to their games and headed towards Chic File, where we were wittled down to 12. Some of the party had fun deflating the balloons and talking in squeaky voices, and I learned that given helium, Spell sounds like Wall-E and I squealed.
After sufficiently filling our stomachs with energy and our lung with helium, we left the Pro Cow anti Chicken folk and played an hour's worth of Lazer Tag with a discount, again losing one more person :( But it was tons of Fun. We also goofed off in the jungle gym playground they had set up, until we found out we weren't allowed in there... Good thing, seeing as Jeremy nearly broke his toe... or did, dunno, either way it was hurt :(
Getting home was an adventure seeing as most of the roads leading to our house were blocked off for the Mardi Gras Parade. but all made it safe and sound if not slightly irritated. At the House inebriation, conversations, Left for Dead, and Rock Band ensued long into the early morning of Sunday.
Spent Sunday out with Dave's dad and dauhgter Chii, at the park, and then Logan's, just hanging out and having fun. There are just no words for the awesomeness of the days events, it was wonderful
On Monday we went out to Bodacious for the famous Botato and lunch, saw Coraline with Chii (it was her second visit to a movie theatre, and likely her first 3d movie, so it was fun, and she behaved exceptionally well :) ) and then went for ice cream after wards. More pictures and videos were had that night.
All in all i can't complain about the weekend (and beginning of the week) at all, it has to be one of the best times of my life to date.
I am truly grateful to all who were involved for giving me such a wonderful gift, your friendship :)
