Celebrating Birthdays!!

Paul's brother, Tony, turned the Big 40 last Thursday so Friday evening the family all went out to celebrate.
The birthday boy with his balloons. We wanted everyone in the restaurant to know Tony had reached this milestone.

Paul, his parents, Tony and Melinda (Tony's wife). Ironically enough Tony and Melinda's birthdays are only 3 days apart so we had the restaurant staff sing Happy Birthday to both of them.

Grammy and Daddy Sonny even drove down for the celebration.I guess it's not everyday your oldest grandchild turns 40!!

Since I was taking most of the pictures I did have to stop and pose once just so you would know I was there!!


After dinner Paul & I and Tony & Melinda headed to downtown Dallas to check out the Neiman Marcus christmas tree. Every year this Neiman Marcus store does some kind of over-the-top tree. This year's them was very futuristic. It was all made out of chrome.

This pictures does not do it justice but there were robots about the tree that would take the ball ornaments off the smaller "trees" in the back and place them on the "trees" in the front.
It was kind of fascinating to watch as the robot obviously had sensors for which branches were empty because that's where the balls would be placed.

That was our Friday.....Saturday we had a lazy day around the house and managed to get the last few presents wrapped. So we are know officially ready for Christmas.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!
