Todd's niece Holly turned 35 the same day Jackie got married. We usually take her out on her birthday but between the kids having the plague and the wedding, we couldn't do it that weekend. We ended up taking her out weeks late on July 21 to Delmonico's because Holly said she wanted to go to my favorite restaurant :). Holly rode up with us and we met her fiance Ron there. We were in a front corner table in the sun room and I kind of was playing with the light while taking photos. Love this look on my hubby's face...the look he gets when he's looking up from his desk or his computer, too. He looks like a principal and a kid getting into trouble at the same time! Notice the murals...they are all over the walls in the restaurant and they are of famous Italian Americans...for some reason I'm not up there yet ;).
Holly all dressed up...the night before I took her shopping at Maurice's for some clothes as a gift...we had to exchange what I had given her on her birthday. She actually is smiling, something it's hard to get from her when the camera is out!!
This picture makes me laugh because they so look like father and son here.
Smiley pretty girl. We got a bowl of pasta and a minipizza for them to share. They both wanted the penne!
Daddy wanted a kiss...
Love how you can tell Adam gave in with a "pity kiss".
Holly is pretty picky eater but she got the chicken parmesan, which she liked. The restaurant was kind of empty in this section and at the end the kids started to roam and Holly followed them around...she kept thinking they'd take off too far because she's not used to them as "big kids".
Oh, the mileage the McDonald's toys get when we are out...
And they came and sang Happy Birthday to Holly while she was chasing Abbey...clearly she was thrilled hahaha but she needed it! No one goes out of their way for this girl!!
We also brought her a cake and balloons and pizza and wings when it was her actual birthday to work. Holly is a great niece, secretary and friend to Todd. She cares about him so much and so it really endears her to me. The Friday before we got married, she wanted him to have a bachelor party so she bought him margarita stuff and sat our kitchen table and drank herself to the floor because she wanted him to have fun. She would do just about anything for him and for that, I am grateful. Glad she's in our lives!
