Birthday and Wings

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARA!!!!

Tonight we are celebrating Lara's birthday at our favorite wing establishment, Native New Yorker! It was a Tuesday night and they have discounted wings so the place was quite busy but we had a great table on the patio and we had a lot of fun. It was only a small family gathering so don't feel left out if you weren't invited. Dad and Lara wanted to keep it to just the people they love the most. Here we all are at dinner, not sure why Steph and Cameron weren't there......
HA HA HA!!! Just kidding!!! Cameron came down with the chicken pox so he was unable to attend the dinner. However, they did text us throughout the evening so that they could be part of the night. Thank goodness for technology! What would we do without our cell phones!! : )

Here is Dad with his girls (minus Steph and Cameron). I think Courtney and Lara were excited not to be the ones not left out of the photo this time since we normally take these "family" photos at the ASU games and aren't season ticketholders. I know the shame in it!!! Sorry Steph this time you are the missing one.......but you were in our thoughts. : )
Now, we eat at Native all the time but my sister Devyn always eats the bow tie pasta. Well, tonight was a special occasion.....not only was it Lara's birthday celebration but Devyn also had her FIRST EVER WING!!! I know it's hard to believe but this was her first time eating a wing!! She had to test out the sauce first on her finger and then once she realized she liked it she ate two wings! Any guess on what flavor wings it was that she ate???? Honey BBQ!!! I knew she was my favorite sister for a reason!! She loved them!! Welcome to the wing club Devyn!!!

No family gathering would be complete without my self-taken photo. Here I am with my sisters. Devyn is proudly showing off her wing-stained smile! How cute!!
Here is Dad, Lara and Devyn......aren't they cute!
Here is Lara with her parents and Devyn. Poor Grandma Carol was falling out of her chair trying to be in this photo! Hang on Grandma!!!
It was a fun night and a great dinner. It's always fun when you can get together with everyone even if it's only for a few hours.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TO LARA AND MAY YOUR BIRTHDAY WISH COME TRUE!!!

More to come
xoxo
