I am sure you are all wondering this very same thing: “Where are the photos from Lindsay’s birthday?”
Wonder no further.
Do you know how hard it is to find a ‘clear’ spot to take a photo inside your house two days after Christmas?
It is really hard. We had Christmas spillage and birthday mixed in in every room of this humble abode.

These aren’t the best, but I’ll keep them anyway. The Coach wasn’t home yet, so he missed out on this photo session.
“This is the way you are supposed to pose Mom.”
I still can’t manage the BIG smile like my girls. I’m working on it though.
Lindsay’s birthday dinner was at Carrabba’s. (her fave) She had two girlfriends and my Fil and Mil joined us.
Even though, she chose to go somewhere else for dessert, we had them bring something with a candle in it. You can’t get older without something showing up with a candle and the obligatory singing of that song.
Then we were off to the jankiest dairy queen in the state for birthday ice cream.
If you ever want to wait 45 minutes for mediocre ice cream, in a really bad part of town, let me know.
I was waiting for a drive by shooting to occur. That would have made for a memorable scrapbook page.
Not the best photo, the lighting in the DQ is horrid. Don’t plan any family photos here, ok? Well, unless your family consists of gang members, then come on in.
*Someone is going to TRY and get her driver’s license today…I don’t want to jinx it by making a big deal about it*
{{Updated…we she decided to wait another week or two on the driving test}}

Those girls are so beautiful! And you too! I would like to be a part of a drive by shooting. I was hoping you would give me that opportunity one day. Please send address at once.

As the new laws went into effect for 2012, it is now a felony to commit a drive-by. Why this is a NEW law is beyond me?!?

I LOVE the three amigos photos – you girls are ALL beautiful! And thanks for the tip on \”how to pose\” – I'm usually trying to camouflage some \”problem area\” or other, and I don't see how this pose will work with that, but I can try.Also love the DQ story. It made me recall one from David's birthday celebration in Cali last Nov.: we went to dinner at the restaurant of his choice (with my parents). After that, David wanted DQ for his bday treat. We drove down the road and encountered some sort of \”gangsta-looking\” people there – odd, for a town that is crawling with senior citizens, but there you have it. One young fellow was with a girl. Her shorts were more like undies than shorts, and his pants were literally falling off of him. He bent over, and I saw more than I ever dreamed (nightmare) I'd see in public, much less in a family-friendly ice-cream store. Travel IS broadening! xoxo

Happy times with happy gals! Memories – – – and not at the hospital or police station after being in that section of town! Our DQ is in a safe neighborhood and less than two miles from one of the interstate exits – – – just saying if you ever head north on I-75 and need to take a break . . . . . . It's good to wait on the driver's test – – – can't take too much excitement in one week! Plus it seems like only a month or so ago when you wrote about her learner's permit. She said something really funny while driving – – can't remember it now – – but you two got a bad case of the giggles over it.
