My Birthday Girl

This little girl is 20 years old today. Isn't she beautiful!
*

She was also a beautiful baby.














*
Thursday afternoon, I drove to the city and we went to dinner. We ate at a great little pub on Spring Garden Road called "My Father's Moustache" -- good food!
*
We began with beverages - my Sleeman's Honey Brown and Molly's Stella Artos -- and a garden salad.










*
Our appetizer was Asian Crispadillas (crispy tortilla stuffed with ground chicken, chillis & ginger & topped with B'beque sauce --- so absolutely scrum-dilly-ishous! with only 12 zillion calories); this was followed by Thai sallops and linguini! It was a great meal.









*
Then we headed across the street to Park Lane Theatres where we saw the world premier of the new Canadian film Gunless starring Paul Gross (a total hottie!). I won the tickets from Shelagh Duffett when she offered them on her blog aliceinparislovesartandtea.

What a wonderful film it was. It was sooo funny! I haven't laughed like that at the movies in a very long time; and I haven't seen a western in eons! (I highly recommend this one; it's a little gem.)
*
Thank you Shelagh!
*
My baby is tucked up in her sister's bed where they'll talk half the night and sleep half the day tomorrow.
*
Ahhh! Family! How sweet it is!
