Mallory's 19th Birthday

We took Mallory out for dinner for her birthday this year.








We went to Friday's, which isn't a restaurant we frequent, but it was good and Mallory almost won the "free bar" catagory. I'm not sure what she would have done with that. As it was, she won a free appetizer.

Our party size is shrinking without our big guys and their families, but we are learning how to party anyway and had a good time. Mallory got a chicken pasta dish, Drew a chicken sandwich, and Trey the usual burger.

Mikiah ordered the kids' chicken fingers and a salad. She loves salad with ranch dressing! Dale got the spiciest entree, but was disappointed it wasn't very spicy!!! I got a chicken and shrimp entree with mashed potatoes. It was good!!!

We ended the night with an ice cream cake, a better attempt at singing happy birthday than we did for Amy on April 10th, :) and Mallory opened her gift of a jacket, and the latest Tony Dungy book.

Mallory got several phone calls today, her brothers Derek and Tyler as well as Grandma Jan and Gpa Gordie. She got cards and money from Gma NeeNee and Gpa Don and Gma Jan and Gpa Gordie. She bought some shoes with some of the money she received!! Cooper and Derek and Amy got on the computer via skype to talk to Mallory and all of us tonight. That is a really wonderful blessing to be able to do that. Check out Cooper's birthday song pic for Mallory on Amy's blog. How sweet!!! It is our latest screensaver now. More later!
