Birthday Dinner

Mauree McIntosh, Carrie Johanson, Melissa Hill, me, Julie Bohn. Here we are on at the National Christmas Tree in DC. It was so pretty this year. :) Usually it is really ugly. I picked Mauree up and warned her that it is usually ugly. I was so pleased that it was so much better this year. We didn't get there until a little before 10:00 and it was closed. We were so surprised. It is a a tradition for us to go to the trees for my birthday. So fun. :)

Here I am outside Old Ebbit Grill.

Julie and I at the National Christmas Tree. I really like this picture of us! How beautiful are we. :)

I have a final on my birthday this year so my friends and I celebrated early. I wanted to try a restaurant I had not been to. I remembered that I had heard really good things about Old Ebbit's Grill in DC so we went there. It's right across from the White House.) We had such a good time! They were extremely accommodating to my food allergies and brought a piece of cake for the table for me to blow out the candle even though I couldn't eat it. It was funny because the waiter would tell me what I could and could not eat. :)
I have such great friends!!! I feel so blessed to have their friendship. We went over to the National Christmas tree after dinner. It was raining a little, but not too bad.
