Manina has gotten pretty good at telling us exactly what she wants to do for her birthday.
The day started off with a quick gym workout and then a brunch with the Denney’s who just arrived in town from San Diego. Then Megan, Katelyn, Manina and I all went up to the Fashion Place mall to do some shopping for a few specific items that Manina had been looking for.
In the evening, we all went to dinner at Pizza Studio and enjoyed eating together and talking about some fun memories.
Then it was time for some bowling. Drew and Ellie were the only ones who requested bumper lanes, and everyone was having fun and having a good attitude. We almost escaped the bowling alley without incident, but then we decided to pose for a family photograph. Megan adamently refused (probably because there were teenage boys in the near vicinity), so I took the liberty to photoshop her in.
We came home and had a cake and some ice cream and opened Manina’s presents. Most of these weren’t a surprise, since Manina had picked them all out herself in our earlier shopping trip.
Overall, it was a pretty good day and a fun way to celebrate Manina’s birthday.
