Sofia's 1st Birthday

So our youngest member of the family turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to believe that a year has already flown by. Her personality is shinning strong and she is a strong little girl. If she wants something she is going to make it known and isn't going to give up until she is satisfied. Everyone in her house was sick the week leading up to her birthday. I was surprised they went forth with the party but it went well. She was a bit overwhelmed but what other little person isn't with that many people crowding their home.

Opening gifts was pretty typical for any 1 year old. She wanted to play with something right then and there. It didn't matter if there were 50 more gifts to open. Now the cake...that was funny. She didn't hesitate and dove right in. She had the best time digging into her personal Red Velvet cake by Red Oven, her dad's special request.

Birthday Bash

So another birthday has rolled around and I am starting to feel he uphill battle. This past week was a fun and eventful celebration of another year completed and a new year to come. I got to have drinks and bar food with some friends last week at one of my new fav spots. Please don't ask where because it is embarrassing to admit. LOL My teammates at summer school also brought lunch on Wednesday for me which was so yummy! Homemade enchiladas, tropical salad, brownies galore & ice cream. It was great! Oh...homemade Spanish rice tambien. LOL

As if that was not enough partying...my two best friends suggested that we go out on Friday. So that we did. There were 8 of us total that night...a nice group. Melissa was freakin' hilarious at dinner and I think I am not the only one to think so. Dinner was great....at Mi Cocina. Let's see...who was there: Melissa, Joe, Jay, Jack, Masaki (Jack's wife), Mino (Masaki's sister) and Jimmy. Jay, Jack & Jimmy are brothers....some of the best men you will ever meet!

So after dinner we walked over to 8.0 to party some more...some of us stumbled over there while others walked. They had a great live band so I got my groove on the dance floor. OK...like as if that took much. I did have some help from my wonderful friends. They were just pouring the drink down my throat. LOL I think I even got some random chic to get on the dance floor with me. What's up with that. The night was just filled with lots of laughter amongst friends. I loved it!
