Happy Birthday Dad!

Dear Kate and Riley,
What a fun, fun weekend we had! Friday night Dad took me out for a romantic pre-Valentine's date. It was easier to get a reservation and a babysitter the day before so it worked for us. Dad took me to a nice Italian restaurant called Antonello. It was fancy and SO nice to eat a meal without a little monkey needing my attention. We walked around after and ended up at BJ's for a pizookie where we discovered the new TRIPPLE CHOCOLATE pizookie which was pretty much to die for. I can't wait until I have an excuse to have another one. Zach had a great babysitter and probably had a lot of fun without us.

Saturday I got to get my hair done, it had been months and it was really a treat for me. We got chinese food and just stayed in to avoid the "going out" crowds.

Sunday we celebrated Dad's birthday by having some friends over for dinner and dessert. We had four little kids in our house and it was pure chaos.

Monday was Dad's actual birthday. We decided to head up to Disneyland because they are having a promotion this year and annual passholders get a gift certificate on their b-day for $69! The problem with going to Disneyland is that it was POURING rain. I bet its the most rain we'll have all year and there we were at Disneyland! We took Zach to the playhouse Disney show since it was inside and then Dad stood in the rain to get his gift card. We were so soaked afterwards we just left. Probably wasn't quite the day he wanted but it was an adventure! We spent the rest of the day warming up and drying off.

Love,
Mom


Zach, amazed at the playhouse Disney show!

I can't believe you guys still went to D-land! Monday morning as I watched the rain come down, I told Jared, "Oh bummer, the O'Farrells were going to go to Disneyland today for Aaron's birthday. Guess that's out." But oh no! You still went. Haha, love it. We hope Aaron had a great bday.
