Mima's Birthday Celebration

We had Mima's birthday dinner a few days late this year because Scott and I had a hot date on her actual birthday. He got free tickets (and dinner beforehand) to a Neil Diamond concert through a work connection of Scott's. Yes, we were some of the youngest people there but we were just as excited as everyone else to be there - should I be admitting that to anyone? :) The concert was awesome but back to my reason for this post - a special birthday for a very special lady.

The main ingredient in Mima's birthday dinner is always a strawberry-romaine salad that she LOVES and would make a meal out of. But we also had steak, chicken, baked potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and garlic bread. Caleb and I usually bake her a carrot cake but this year we tried something different - a carrot cake/cheesecake combination with cream cheese frosting. Madisyn was staying at our house this weekend so I had extra help with the meal, dessert and with my kiddos all weekend. They sure do love their cousin! I told her I was hiring her as my nanny when the new baby comes in April.
So happy (belated) birthday, Mima! Thanks for letting us celebrate with you.
