Feliz cumpleaños!

Yesterday was going to be a picnic day - our end-of-the-year-school-picnic was scheduled to have a vehicle fair, complete with buses, police, fire and garbage trucks!  Alas, it was cold and raining, so we decided to frequent our favorite Mexican restaurant, Teresa's, and celebrate the boys' birthdays as a family of four for the first time.  (They turn ONE on Tuesday, which is freaking me out if I think about it too much.) It's not often we have Daddy home on a weekday OR that we're able to take advantage of their incredible lunch specials!

The boys dazzled the staff and patrons alike with their amazing cuteness!  Thanks to Aunt P, they kept themselves busy fishing puffs out of their new "snack traps" (an amazing invention by Munchkin brand - wish I'd have thought of it!) while we gobbled tacos, quesadillas, flautas, and baskets of chips.  Yeah, I know, it's not fair, but they ate their food before we left and we DID share some of our meals. 

Let the cuteness begin!  Fortunately, our neighboring table had celebrated a birthday while we were eating, and the boys just stared and stared.  Since we knew they wouldn't be frightened by the singing, we asked the staff to sing to them, too.  They brought two tiny sombreros and a little flan dessert!

We had a hard time getting a photo of Nathan with the little sombrero, but no worries...the best part was still to come.  While we fed them a couple bites of flan (they really didn't seem to like it, so we ate it - darn), the staff brought......
BALLOONS!
I think I'm going to buy them a helium tank for their birthday because the fun seriously lasted ALL DAY!
We always have fun at Teresa's and the boys really seem to enjoy it, too - could've been the Twins game on the big screen TV, or the amazing fun that it is to dump over mommy's water, but, whatever!  
God bless Teresa, whomever she is!
