I might be dead tired this morning (stayed up to 1:30 am) but I am much happier than I was yesterday morning! The Tigers beat the Oakland A's last night by the score of 6-0! We are moving on to the ALCS! We will either play the Yankees or Orioles. Bring it on!!
Another reason I woke up in happy mood is because it is Friday:) It's been a busy week and I welcome the weekend with open arms! I'm looking forward to going out to dinner with Walt tonight. I have started doing Weight Watchers so I did some research on what will be my best choice when we go out for dinner. The margaritas that I love so much at the Parrot Cove will have to wait until I drop my first 10 lbs. I would be out 6 points before dinner even arrived on the table!
This past Wednesday we celebrated Matt and Corey's birthdays. I made a ham dinner with all the fixings. This was Corey's first Beaver family birthday party as our son-law. We do birthday's up big (dinner, lots of gifts, cake and ice cream). I think the tradition went over very well:) It was a fun celebration with the family!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend everyone! Go Tigers!!

| The birthday guys! They are more like brothers than brother in-laws:) |
If you haven't noticed, we recycle birthday candles..LOL. This particular Happy Birthday cake topper has become a tradition. We have used this topper on the top of everyone's cake for over 20 years! I know, we are a strange bunch..haha.
You don't look like you need to lose any weight! I do hope you get to a weight where you feel comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to re-use birthday candles and those plastic decorations too...therefore, I have always done that too.
Thank you, Julie! I need to lose about 25 pounds. I'm finding that WW is really easy to do. I haven't felt deprived at all.
DeleteFirst thing I saw when I signed in and the news/sports came up, is that your Tigers won!!!! Yippee. Your birthdays look a lot like ours. Fun times. Have a good Friday and weekend.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you should have heard our house at 1:00 this morning..all kinds of Whooo Hoooing going on! Have a great weekend too!
DeleteI love your tradition. Birthdays should always be special occasions.
ReplyDeleteI agree..Birthday's need to be extra special:-)
DeleteI LOVE big birthday celebrations! Thanks for sharing the photos - and the traditional cake toppers! The BEST!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy dinner out. We have found Applebee's to be very WW friendly. I love th 5 oz sirloin with spinach and mushrooms. A nice glass of wine is only 4 points.... just sayin'.
I don't feel like I've lost anything this week. Tomorrow is weigh-in day. Have a great weekend, Kris!!
Terri - I was surfing around Applebee's website..they have a great WW friendly menu! I enjoy beer so I am going to have a Miller's 64 tonight. It is only 2 points! I keep meaning to tell you. I was about to order the WW calculator and I did a quick search in the droid apps store and I found one I can have on my phone for free! I've been using it today and I love it:-)
DeleteIt looks like a fun birthday weekend!! Yay!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice birthday picture. Looks like a great time.
