I finally picked a place and felt completely guilty about not taking Riley with us to celebrate. Being almost 3, he's not the most pleasant person to have around in public while we are trying to enjoy a meal. I couldn't think of any "kid-friendly" places that sounded good for my birthday dinner, so I chose an UN-kid-friendly place when my wonderful mother-in-law offered to babysit.
To ease my guilt, I stopped at a cutie little cupcake and coffee spot after work (Cupprimo) and picked up 3 cupakes for us to have BEFORE dinner. White on white for Riley, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip for me, and Chocolate Chocolate for Russ. We had candles in each one and sang "Happy Birthday" three times.
After the birthday celebration with Riley, we met Mom and Gary at Gumbo's.
The food and the wine were fabulous, the beer was nasty as usual (but only to Mom and I), and our waitress was spectacular. It was a lovely evening! Thanks to our parents who made it happen. It felt like a birthday after all!!

Sounds like a perfect birthday to me!
How precious! Made me smile today!
I can't BELIEVE I didn't comment on this already! You are one lucky mommy to have such a sweet little Riley.
happy belated birthday! Sorry I missed it. I never realized how close we are in age. Enjoy your last year of 'mid 30s'
