About last night...

Last night a group of us got together to celebrate my girl Bettina's birthday. Brian blind-folded her and brought her into the Lotus Pond where we were all waiting to yell surprise. The funny thing is... Every year Brian has a surprise party for her *laugh* and every year she's surprised!! :)
I like going out for dinner with my hubby... The gang was all there...
I had a custom comic made for Bettina's birthday... she was very excited.
And then we ate... Mock Duck.
Oh dear lord... Veggie Chow Mein. Sweat and Sour Mock Chicken Balls. (Sweat... *laugh* Oops. Typo on the menu).
Pot Stickers. Won Ton Soup...
There was tons more food but that's all I managed to get photos of before it was inhaled. *laugh*

Then we headed back to Bettina's crash pad where we ate the GIANT double layer birthday cake I made from HIAV. Auntie' Bonnie's Wacky Cake for those of you who are curious.
That Bettina... never misses a photo-op. Put a fork in me...I'm stuffed.

  8. I wish we had restaurants like that in Burlington. I used to love Won Ton soup. And those mock Sweat and Sour chicken balls look great. So does the Chow Mein. The topper is that cake! Mmmmm...chocolate.
