Birthday Fun

Thursday morning got off to a fun birthday start when I made breakfast in bed (buttermilk pancakes, fruit, scrambled eggs and O.J.) for my boys.

After chillin' in the bed for a while and opening presents, we went out for a stroll, and ended up relaxing in Madison Square Park.  It was a magnificent day and all the benches were full, so Taro and the Kiddo relaxed beside the fountain.

A little while later we met up with Taro's mom, Riki, who treated us to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Peryali.  

After our wonderful meal (and more presents!) we went home for a while before Taro and I departed for our evening activity:  attending a performance of HAIR on Broadway!

We had excellent seats, and the show was fantastic, so we had a blast!  We even ran into a friend of ours during intermission who assisted with costume design on the show, and he gave me lots of fun behind-the-scenes info about what it was like assembling the incredibly groovy outfits for the show :)

Once home for the night, Taro had one last birthday hurrah by blowing out candles in a tiny little two-person Haagen Daz coffee ice cream cake, which was soooo yummy!  Yay for birthdays!!!
