Itty Bitty Birthday Kitty

Okay, I have to include one picture from Scout's first birthday party last month, only because it was so hard to take it...

Don't worry, not kitties were harmed in the taking of this picture!

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in so long, and I'm only a little sorry about the alliteration in the title...

Earlier this month we celebrated Jen's birthday. Mom and I were joined by Joanne (all the way from Illinois!) for a weekend getaway.

On Saturday, September 6th we headed up to the Cleveland Heights area to see the Vatican Splendors exhibition at the Western Reserve Historical Society. Since it was the weekend for the exhibit it was pretty crowded. The highlight was the gift shop at the end of the tour, complete with Vatican Splendors shot glasses. Too funny!

After the tour we headed out to Legacy Village for shopping and lunch. Now, if you know Jenny at all, then you probably know how much she despises "birthday productions" at restaurants. Let's see how the Cheesecake Factory likes to celebrate birthdays:

And let's see how Jenny reacted...

Oh, she loved it! Don't let her tell you any different :-)

After lunch and shopping we headed back to our hotel for more celebrations. If you want to know which birthday we were celebrating, you might want to take a closer look at this picture:

Happy birthday, Jenny Bean!
