Happy Birthday times TWO

So, Dh's and Princess Girly Girl's birthday are on the SAME day. You know on the actual day of Princess Girly Girl's birth, we hd a big dinner planned, but she had other plans, Dh was so excited that he was getting a daughter on his birthday. When it was time to puch he could not get her out fast enough because he wanted her born on HIS birthday. She was born at 10:51 pm. Him and the nurse were cheering me on, to make sure that she was born on the right day. It makes for a long day because I am real big on, giving them both equal time on their birthdays. So that usually means party for the Princess and Dinner for DH. Princess Girly Girl had the party, with 6 little girlfriends, party games, and cake. She loved every minute of it. Then their was some down time (and the hallmark channel) and it was dinner time.

We got the exciting pleasure of going to Benihanas for dinner. I was slightly scared when they could not find our reservations. I did call and make them. I hate that. We were not the only ones, the couple right behind us, they could not find theirs either. The guy panicked, made a comment about saving for two months and they were eating dinner there that night. We all got seated together. We did not have to wait :) We had so much fun, picking and choosing what we were going to eat. It was fun to see the girls watch the chef make our dinner in front of us. They all tried new things and got things they enjoyed. Princess Seriously got steak and chicken and munched away. Princess Girly Girl got steak and shrimp and ate as much as she possibly could. They also got sung to, both of them and eyes lit up from both of them. Dh loves to eat good food and always enjoys a good dinner. He loves that the girls can enjoy and have a good time. It is always fun to watch them.

So back to the couple. The comments he made, really stuck. I could NOT sake the feeling that I needed to pay for their dinner. So when the check came I had the waitress combine the checks. Dh had no clue what going on. The guy tried to give Dh the money then figured out what was going on. He told the guy he needs to fight that battle with me. I would not take their money. I have no idea why I had to do it, but I NEEDED to. They were grateful. I hope all is well with them.

Today was such a great day. I love when all goes well and my family is happy, we all have a great time together. I am so grateful for them. I am so blessed.

Sounds like fun!! I love Benihana's. That is where I had Dan take me for my birthday. I sure hope we find one here.
You are so generous too. I love that you paid for their meal. That was really sweet.
