Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. We all went to my parent's house for dinner to celebrate. My dad made his special deep dish pizzas. He experimented with some new combinations this year and they were yummy. I'm pretty sure Ian petitioned for the BBQ chicken pizza (what does he NOT like to BBQ?) It was a tasty and fun night. Here are some pictures of the festivites.

It seems as though Sheona and Jon are vying for some creativity award lately as they were the winners of the Iron Chef competition last month and apparently also the winners of the best birthday gift award tonight. I'm not jealous, just impressed.

My sisters. Love them.

That's one HOT dog!

I left Mark alone last night to make dinner for himself while I ran an errand after work.  So he threw a couple of hot dogs on the barbie...but forgot to take them off.  This is what they looked like after an hour on the BBQ at 400 degrees.  Yum!  They each weighed about as much as a piece of paper.  And smelled lovely.

New York....New York

We're still on our vacation, but I thought I'd post some pictures anyway...

This is a picture of Mark's first taxi ride EVER. If I was a better photographer I would have included something in the shot so that you would know he was in a taxi, but you'll just have to take my word for it.




This is us on the top of the Empire State Building (which Mark insists on calling the Empire States Building).

See you soon!!
