Dining Out to Celebrate

My Mum-In-Law's birthday was yesterday. My Dad's birthday is tomorrow. Usually, we have our parents over for dinner to celebrate. This year we decided to change things up a bit by inviting them out for dinner. 

We selected one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants Tamarine by Quynh Nhi. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion and the food was delicious as always. Dining Out to Celebrate April birthdays was fun. 

Afterwards, we headed back to our house for a yummy, sensibly-sized carrot cake from Sobeys and cappuccinos.

 

Cake and candles are a crucial part of birthday celebrations in our family. 

 

Happy Birthday to my Mum-In-Law and Dad. We wish you both a year full of love and happiness.

Celebrating April Birthdays

In our family, we celebrate two birthdays together - my Mum-In-Law's (Friday) and my Dad's (Sunday). We invited our parents for dinner on Saturday the day between their birthdays. 

We love celebrating family birthdays with dinner and cake. My husband barbecued despite frigid cold temperatures. Brrrrr .... it was unusually cold for this time of year. We gathered in our warm kitchen starting the evening with wine, sushi and conversation.

For dinner we served pork chops, potatoes (baked cut-side down in butter and Parmesan), broccoli and brussel sprouts (both baked with a sprinkling of cheese). Mmmm cheese really does make everything better.

This year, we selected a tiramisu cake from Real Canadian Superstore. The candles were blown out in one go, unlike last year when we laughed over a few failed attempts.

Cheers and Best Wishes to our parents for a fabulous year ahead.
