Anniversary Weekend

Last Saturday Ben and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary.  We, well I, had plans of going away for a night or two, but I can't be away from a certain little boy that long.  So, instead we decided to go out to eat at a new place (new to us) in Fort Worth.  My sweet sister and her husband offered to watch the kids for us, so we took them up on that.  I made reservations for Saturday night at Texas de Brazil.  We have friends who have been before and have told us how wonderful it was, so we decided to try it.  I had every intention of taking pictures to share, but once in the restrauant, my focus was not on pictures.

I had thankfully made reservations (when we got there it was up to a 45 minute wait), so we were taken right to our table.  It was very full, but you had plenty of room at your table to not feel crowded.  Our waiter came over, explained how it 'works', took our drink orders and showed us where the salad bar was.  The salad bar was wonderful.  There were so many different items that you would not find on a regular salad bar.  It gave us a chance to try new and different things.  The soup of the day was Lobster Bisque and it was delicious.  Once we had finished our salads, they took our plates, brought clean plates, our garlic mashed potatoes, and the roasted bananas that were to help cleanse our paletes.  At this point, you have a card that is red on one side and green on the other.  When you are ready for them to bring the different meats, you turn your card to green.  I tried leg of lamb and lamb chops for the first time and they were wonderful.  Our favorite was the house special, which was the top part of the sirloin. 

Everything was amazing from the food to the service.  While the cost, $45 per person, wasn't cheap, you definately get what you pay for.  I would recommend Texas de Brazil to anybody that is looking for a place to have dinner for a special occasion.  We will definately be going back in the future.

We did a little shopping after dinner and then went to pick the kiddos up from my sister's house.  Easton woke up with a bad cough Sunday morning and after we woke up from our afternoon nap, I wasn't feeling real great.  So, we were pretty lazy the rest of the weekend.  Thankfully, we have a pretty easy week this week because I felt worse Monday.  I have a house that needs cleaning like nothing else and I need to start getting stuff together for Kinnley's birthday party next month.  Pictures to come.

We are about three weeks or less away from my sister finding out if she's having a boy or a girl.  (Think girl really hard please.)  I really hope that it is a girl because I ordered the first set of matching bows for the new baby and Kinnley to have their pictures made wearing them from Jill at Lots of Laughs Boutique.

Aren't they ADORABLE!!!!  I can't wait to get them in.  This was from her Wednesday Specials last week.  I got two other bows and some leg warmers from her Baby Leg special, so I will have a big package coming this week!  It's hard to be patient!

I hope everybody has a great Thursday!
