Birthday Fun

We had an awesome time last night.  We celebrated the birthdays by our whole family going to Tucano's Brazilian BBQ Restaurant.  Basically, it was a phenomenal salad bar complete with the normal greens as well as pasta salads, wonderful breads, and a hot food section.  The lobster bisque was yummy as well as the crab mango sushi.  We had mashed potatoes and Becca enjoyed the beans and rice.  That was the accompaniment to the main deal which was the meat.  All sorts of steak, pork, chicken, turkey and fish are roasted on a gigantic skewer.  This skewer is then brought to each table and cut according to what you want. It is unlimited eating at its best.  This summer, I have lost over 15 pounds and I am sure I gained a portion back last night. 

We came home, Tom and Laura opened their gifts and we enjoyed watching the Olympics.  We had recorded the Olympics from the night before so we got to watch the Women's Gymnastics Team win the gold. After we recovered from dinner, we at the Tiramisu Becca and I had made earlier in the day.  Tom got a birthday phone call from his brother and his bride. We enjoyed catching up with them. All in all it was a delightful evening.

Today will bring grocery shopping and preparation for Laura's big party tomorrow.  I may need school to start so that I can start back to work in order to rest.
