Ella's Birthday!

Ella's birthday fell on President's Day this year so I choose for us to take that day off. 

She opened her gifts from her siblings. 

She got money from Owen, makeup from Zeke, dye free snacks from Jack and an Amazon gift card from Katie & Ernie. She also got money from Ga-Ga & Pa from the OJEZ box some other time....I just didn't get a picture of it. Papa & Ruth also gave her a gift the very next day when Papa came over for guitar lessons. 

That night the birthday girl wanted to go to Olive Garden to celebrate. 

We made it more of a double date so the boys didn't come along. 

We got calamari for an appetizer...yummy! 

They finally brought back my Portobello Mushroom Ravioli, but sadly they changed something so it's not as good as it once was. 

Michael always gets the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara.

Justine got the same dish that Michael did and Ella got Shrimp Alfredo. 

This was a big night because we had told them they couldn't kiss until Ella was 16 years old. Just like we expected Justine to ask us if he could date our daughter; we expected him to ask us if he could kiss our daughter. Of course he was super nervous! I tried to record him, but he wasn't having that. In the end he asked and we said yes. We did put some limitations on our yes though. They are only allowed to kiss on the face and the hands. No neck kissing or anywhere else kissing for that matter!
