We went over to my mom's house tonight to celebrate Ben's birthday and Valentine's Day a little early.
My mom and G made cream chipped beef on toast {a family favorite} with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and of course, we all ate way too much.
Believe it or not though, we were somehow able to find room in our stomachs for both cake and chocolate covered strawberries.
We also spent a good part of the evening laughing at all of the "T-Rex Trying..." pictures {

Nobody thought they were as funny as Ben though. He was laughing so hard that he was crying.
Ben got some birthday money, and we all got Valentine's gifts. G gave us candy and some spending money, and my mom gave us each a box of our favorite girl scout cookies. The birthday boy got 2 boxes, but poor Nelson got the short end of the stick. A couple of weeks ago, my mom asked Holly which ones were his favorites, and she told her that the Thanks-A-Lots were, but we found out last night that that isn't entirely true. The truth is Nelson doesn't actually like girl scout cookies {crazy, huh?} and the Thanks-A-Lots are actually one of HER favorites. What a little toot. ;)
We left my mom's house feeling stuffed and with a bag full of cake, girl scout cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, AND candy. All I can say is it's a good thing I run. ;)
