Birthday weekend was a huge success! CR won 375,000 points at the arcade, a new personal record. This arcade is the best because you can trade your points for gift cards instead of cheap toys, so he ended up getting $100 worth of iTunes gift cards. He uses them for game add ons and stuff.

Unfortunately he asked me when we were going to have birthday cake and I realized I never got him one! So I made him birthday brownies from scratch instead. He liked them so he’s not upset about the cake!

Today we went to longhorn steakhouse as promised and I actually thought it was really good for being a chain. It’s too expensive for a casual Friday night but if we had a gift card or a special occasion I would take him back.

I did get my mom to come to thanksgiving! I’m glad. Apparently my aunt and uncle are no longer hosting or attending thanksgiving due to the giants game being on at 4pm so we’re not having dessert there. Now I don’t have to see my cousin! I’m happy about that. I’ll just make a pumpkin pie and apple crisp for us here. But now I have to go back to the grocery store with everyone else who forgot stuff. Not too happy about that!
