an irish & greek birthday bonanza

we've been away for a while - digging out of the wintery snow bubble that burst all around us and just doing the day-to-day things that, before you know it, fill up an entire month.  and what do you know - it's snowing again today.  aside from this avalanche of winter, a lot has been going on.  some really great and new adventures have occurred and more are on the horizon - we'll get to those eventually - but first a quick look back at the past weekend, and a birthday celebration that was an absolute blast. 

my birthday was the 16th and since it fell on a weekend and the day before st. patrick's day, we decided the entire weekend should be devoted to celebrating.  yeeesssss!  you know how we roll.  so that's what we did.  with the brookside st. patrick's day warm-up parade falling on my birthday, we invited a house full of friends to taste-test our first bangers & mash endeavor and hit up the parade. 

i am telling you people, there is no better way to celebrate a birthday than filling your house up with your closest friends, feeding them and toasting with them for an entire day.  

which leads me into later on that evening....

once again everyone regrouped for the evening celebration which included a table for 11 of our besties complete with all the hilarity and hijinks tassos restaurant regularly serves up.  

another year gone by.  another year older.  another reason i love birthdays and getting to celebrate life with these party animals in tow.  cheers! 

thanks friends for celebrating with us!
