Hall Family: Daddy's Birthday (and Uncle David, too!)

John's birthday was on Friday--he turned the big 33. We celebrated by taking a run before a nice dinner, because you know, he needed to prove he wasn't getting old. I happened to find Alaskan King crab legs (aka crabs on steroids) at Wegmans. That was literally all we ate because the meat is so filling. Made for an easy dinner for me to make! Here is a leg, and the picture doesn't do it justice for how large it is!

AJ singing Happy Birthday to Daddy:

John about to blow out the candles--note, the number 1 was all I had in the house as far as candles go. I really thought I would have had regular old candles in the house, but nope--randomly had a number 1!

On Saturday it was Uncle David's birthday. We went over to my parents house in the early afternoon to spend some time at the pool. John got tickets to the Redskins preseason game and was taking his brother, my stepdad Jose, and Jose's friend Billy. After the pool we cooked out and ate before the guys headed on out. David and Roman joined us at the house to hang out and Nicole joined us after work. We watched a little of the Skins game before heading home.

On Sunday we all had a relaxing day before meeting up to go to Dinner at Mike's to celebrate John and David's birthdays. Here are some of us at the table:

Jose enjoying himself:

AJ doing his "I GOT YOUR NOSE!". Roman enjoyed it!

This picture is priceless: AJ still has Roman's nose (his thumb) and Roman's face looks like 'WHAT?!":

John and I being silly:

Just the three of us:

David and Nicole:

Nothing can capture the taste of Flourless Chocolate Waffle. This is what I was addicted to when I was pregnant with AJ and have never been able to shake the craving. I used to drag John out to Sweetwater (a Mike's sister restaurant by our house) just to get dessert. Thanks for saving me some, Dave (sarcasm because you can't share this dessert). MMMM:
