FIL Birthday Time

We celebrated my FILs birthday with a the boys going on a hike (I had to work, remember?), a delicious brunch spread, that included homemade bloody marys (mine wasn't too strong! I swear..), happy hour drinks and a delicious dinner with some family friends. It was such a nice and relaxing celebration!

We had dinner at this amazing restaurant in Scottsdale, The Capital Grille. My in-laws are really friends and social people and when they go out they inevitably meet people and make new friends. They had met the head chef at The Capital Grille and they decided to celebrate my FILs birthday there. They told the chef and he had the table decorated and made sure to give all of us the royal treatment. Seriously. It was the best service any of us had ever received in a restaurant. The chef even prepared a beautiful desert sampler plate and sent out a round of champagne. It was glorious and a total treat! I absolutely recommend the restaurant for any special occasion that you may have! And they even have locations all over the US. Sadly, nothing in SF!

After dinner we went back to the house and toasted some Dom Perignom. We toasted to the birthday boy and cheers to many more years to come! Then we opened some more wine and watched the Dick Van Dyke show, kissed at midnight and all went to sleep. It was such a special day and Rich and I were so glad to be there to celebrate!
