First, we went to Michael&#8217;s mom&#8217;s house for brunch for my birthday. It was really nice! She made a lovely egg casserole and a potato casserole. There was fruit salad and miniature cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51630\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5581-e1485746362964-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5581-e1485746362964-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5581-e1485746362964-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We hung out there for a few hours. It was nice not really being in a rush for once. Logan was having a great time showing off all his new abilities for the family. This weekend he stood up from sitting on the floor WITHOUT holding on to anything for the first time. Then once he was standing he realized what was happening and I think he freaked out a little bit because he reached out to hold on. But that was a big step!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51631\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5578-e1485746443262-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5578-e1485746443262-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5578-e1485746443262-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They had some Baby Einstein toys at their house and he loved those. The ones that play music are a huge hit. He starts dancing. It&#8217;s adorable. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The family was very generous and I am totally looking forward to using my birthday gifts&#8211;one was a mini spa day (massage and facial) and the other was a gift card for three pedicures. Can&#8217;t wait!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>It was getting to be time for Logan&#8217;s\u00a0afternoon nap so we went home and all three of us took a nap! IT WAS GLORIOUS! \ud83d\ude09 After a month and a half of not being sick, Michael and I both caught a head cold. Thankfully it&#8217;s pretty mild and more annoying than anything else. But as a result we both took it easy this weekend and I skipped swimming on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday evening we met my friend Star and her boyfriend for dinner. I really wanted to give this place a good review:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51635\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5585-e1485746750361-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5585-e1485746750361-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5585-e1485746750361-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The food was pretty good but the service was SO terrible! Star is vegetarian and ordered the vegetarian wontons with noodles. They came with pork in them!! When we talked to the waitress she didn&#8217;t seem to care and said that the noodles were vegetarian. Um&#8230;but what about the pork in the wontons?! I felt SO bad for Star because I picked this place (after reading great reviews) because it would be easy for her to get something vegetarian.<\/p>\n<p>Michael got the brisket noodles:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51636\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5586-e1485746896940-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5586-e1485746896940-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5586-e1485746896940-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got the wonton noodle soup. The beef broth was delicious. I have leftovers for lunch (which I added srichacha to) which is perfect for my cold.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51637\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5587-e1485747050694-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5587-e1485747050694-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5587-e1485747050694-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I was really disappointed with the bad service and I feel badly for picking the restaurant. But it was still nice to see Star and Larry. Her birthday is a week after mine so we were able to celebrate that. I got her this book:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1583335277?ie=UTF8&amp;creativeASIN=1583335277&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;tag=110pounandcou-20\">The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Over 100 Vegan Recipes to Glow from the Inside Out<\/a>\u00a0for her birthday.
