On Monday evening, I went to dinner with my birthday twins–Debbie, Sue, Christie, and Kayla. Okay, we’re not really birthday twins because all our birthdays are on different days, but we all have April birthdays. This yearly celebration has become something of a tradition for us, and it’s one that I look forward to all year long.
We went to Iggy’s Sports Grill last year and we went to The Mayan the year before that. This year, we went to the Cheesecake Factory. Yes, I ordered the 1600-calorie slice of carrot cake for dessert. But! I didn’t eat the entire thing all at once. To be honest, if I hadn’t been so full from my meal, I would’ve eaten the entire thing right then and there. It’s so delicious! (It’s out of my system now for another six months so I can go back to eating healthy again. ;) )
It was a little harder this year to find a time when all of us could get together. We actually had to reschedule three different times because of things that kept coming up. But, it was worth the wait and all the schedule juggling that took place because I always have such a great time with these ladies, and I love spending time with them.
YUM! I love Cheesecake Factory. I think it is really great that you and your friends get together to celebrate one another’s birthdays! Great tradition!!!
I guess you would really be birthday quintuplets, ha! Cheesecake Factory IS good. I’m glad you had a fun time!
Jenifer – It is fun to get together each year. I really love having so many friends with an April birthday.
Ashley – Birthday quintuplets. I love it! ;)
Glad you got to have fun with the girls! And that carrot cake sounds delicious, even at 9:00 in the morning….
Amy – It is delicious, even at 9:00 in the morning. I ate the rest of it for breakfast the next day. ;)
It’s always fun to have people to celebrate with. I’m glad you have such good friends. They’re the best. As for the carrot cake….I’m glad you got it, every 6 months sounds okay to me :)
What a cute picture! Happy birthday month to all five of you! Such a fun tradition to celebrate together! :)
Yay for the birthday quints! And since I didn’t mention this before, congrats on a fabulous semester! Holy cats, you should be walking tall and proud after receiving those awesome grades!!!
It was fabulous as usual. I’m glad we started that tradition.
Aymee – Yeah, I think 6 months is a good time frame for eating a 1600-calorie slice of cake. ;)
Violet – Thank you!
Deon – Thanks! I’m pretty proud. :D
Christie – It is a fabulous tradition. I wonder where we’ll go next year.
I’m jealous! Sounds like a really fun tradition!
Jules – If you lived in Utah instead of Ohio, then you could come too! (Maybe not this tradition because your birthday’s not in April, but you could hang out with us every other time! ;) )
That is such a fun tradition. I want some of that carrot cake! It sounds awesome.
Rebecca – It is awesome. If The Cheesecake Factory is anywhere near you, I highly recommend the cake.
