Last night we continued the tradition we started last year and had dinner at Red Robin to celebrate the birthdays of Rachel and her friend, Jada. (Sadly, last year we celebrated Kaden's birthday, too, since they're all born within two and a half weeks of each other, so we desperately missed them this year. This year we had the fun of having my friend Christa and her family join in on the fun, though! Jada's birthday was actually yesterday. Kaden's was last Sunday, and Rachel's is on the 9th).
Rachel had a ball, her first time not sitting in a high chair at a restaurant. She sat next to Jada in a booth, with Daddy on the other side of her. Daddy didn't enjoy this experience, however, since she used him as leverage every time she wanted to move around, and he ended up with ketchup all over him from her messy hands! (Note to self....don't sit next to Rachel in a booth for a few more years, unless wearing a red shirt--luckily Daddy was!)
This is Rachel's version of smiling for the camera.....looking off to the side and saying "cheese," so it doesn't really look like a smile at all. Ugh...you'll see that in several pictures below. Hopefully we have better luck when we go to the studio in a couple of weeks to get pictures taken!
The waiters and waitresses came and sang to them and brought the sundaes. Rachel was already digging into the ice cream before they were even finished singing.
Christa and family brought both Jada and Rachel a present--
--Rachel's first My Little Pony.
After they told each other happy birthday they gave one another a hug. Too bad they're facing the wrong direction!!
What a fun night with friends! I can't believe they're all growing up so fast.

Too cute! I'm still mourning the loss of ever having little girl things in my life. No My Little Ponies for me.
