Apparently my birthday festivities yesterday were just the beginning of a weekend of fun! I got up at the usual time but noticed that people seemed a bit more tired than usual. (Apparently my parents, aunts, and uncle were out partying last night!) I had a fun morning playing and had an uneventful nap. When I got up, Mom, Dad, the Drostes, and I all headed out to Francesca’s for Aunt Claire’s brithday brunch!
I’ve walked (well, rolled) by Francesca’s many times, but never gotten to go in side. Also, we almost always go to Moonshine for brunch! Maybe now that I’m a toddler, my parents trust me to go to fancier places?
I started throwing some food on the floor and made a huge mess! Dad tried to clean it up but the nice owner of the restaurant insisted that it was okay! Dad was in a remarkably open-minded mood and let me try pretty much everything. I really like pancakes! They’re just like birthday cake except they can be eaten for breakfast. What a great idea! I also really really loved scrambled eggs. I ate at least half of Dad’s breakfast all by myself (and in addition to my own breakfast). Unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste the booze that Aunt Claire ordered. Apparently turning 21 means you have to drink alcohol for breakfast? Wow.
After brunch, Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa headed home while my aunts took me to Wicker Park and let me play on the swings. After I got home, I got to hang out in the yard and play with the awesome slide that Aunt Sarah had gotten me for my birthday. While I was out there playing, Grandpa Droste installed an extra fence in the yard to make it “Maggie proof.”
After my snack and my nap it was time for yet another birthday celebration! Nana’s birthday was last week but we hadn’t gotten to formally celebrate it yet. Mom, Dad, and I drove over to Nana’s and Grandpa’s neighborhood and ate at Bistro Margot. The food looked really good, but I didn’t get to eat much of the real food. It was fun to have Uncle Danny around and to see Nana and Grandpa Yagan in such good moods!
Here’s what I was doing a year ago!
