• Birthday Dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack

    Joe’s Crab Shack was the girls choice for their birthday dinner!

    We promised the girls that we would take them out to dinner for their birthday and gave them the choice of what type of food they wanted to eat.  Both girls agreed they wanted a restaurant that served seafood.  Once we narrowed down a few options they both chose Joe’s Crab Shack for their special dinner.  They both love seafood and Joe’s Crab Shack is a fun place to celebrate too.

    Brina and Karlie were not sure about the “bibs” but when they saw other birthday adults wearing the birthday bibs they decided it would be okay for the evening.  “Let’s Get Crackin – Birthday Crab”

    It didn’t take them long to figure out the table had a lot of cool coins, post cards, and neat items sealed into it.  It was like a scavenger hunt looking for the coolest items!

    Wow look at all that delicious food!  They are getting better at shelling the seafood, although at times pieces would come flying across the table which was rather entertaining.  Thankfully Jake was there to help!

    The waitresses at the restaurant gave the girls blue blown up guitars to strum while everyone sang the Joe’s Crab Shack version of “Happy Birthday!”

    Opening their gift from Grandma!  It’s not every day you get to open a gift at dinner time!

    Brina and Karlie's Brithday Celebration

    Thankful that Jake was able to meet us at Joe’s for the birthday dinner!  Even though he was probably covered with the flying pieces of seafood by the end he was still smiling!

    Thankful for the opportunity to go out to dinner and spend some time with the girls.  We are blessed to have them in our lives and look forward to celebrating many more years with them.  Praying for them as they continue to grow up (too quickly).  Hopefully, they’ll look back on these birthdays and our moments together with big smiles!

    The girls had a great birthday with a lot of fun activities and sweet messages, wishes, cards, calls, texts, and even videos with the happy birthday song from  family and friends.  We appreciate each person that reached out and made their day extra special.  They went to bed feeling loved and grinning from ear to ear!
