Sami & Erin's Birthday Celebration

Erin's birthday: February 5th
Sami's birthday: February 21st.
Erin and I signed up for the birthday club for Tucanos Brazillian Grill so that the month of our birthdays, they send us a coupon for buy one get one free deals. So we decided we should go [the four of us] in celebration of both of our birthdays! 

So, I have to record this funny story:
Preface- Erin had just turned 18 a couple weeks before this dinner, and she was way psyched to be an adult finally [even though I feel like she's been an adult for years now].
So while we were ordering drinks, she was taking a long time to decide what to get, and we kinda teased her about taking so long, when the waiter chipped in with his teasing- 
"Who brought the child along?" 
HAHAH! I'm sure he thought she was way older than just 18, when really, she JUST turned 18! It looked like Erin didn't know whether to cry or laugh. We all laughed really hard [she didn't cry]. Just the irony of it was hilarious!

We LOVE Tucanos! Whenever we go, I usually eat a bunch from the "Salad Festival" [salad buffet], but Tyler won't get anything from the buffet because he wants to save all the room in his stomach for the meat they bring around to the tables! His favorite is the garlic steak! My favorite is the mango cod- amazing!!!! 
The Riverwoods shopping center is beautiful at night! They ALWAYS have white Christmas lights up, and during the actual Christmas season, they have colored lights too! 
After walking around the Riverwoods, we went into Blickenstaff's, a really cool toy store, to check it out. 
They had so many cool things!! There were all sorts of vintage toys and candies, along with new toys of course. In one part of the store they had dress-up hats sitting on a hat/coat rack! 
Pharaoh Tyler

Roman Soldier Corey, and Major Erin, the Astronaut.

Queen of Hearts! 

We discovered these sweet little rides! We crashed into many things trying to get the hang of them...well...at least I did....they were hard to control at first!

Corey and his magnet jewelry. 

Erin and I decided we wanted to take pictures together in the photobooth! But right before we put the money in, we realized-what the heck? Why don't we get the guys to come in too?! 
So we got Tyler and Corey to come in there with us....
the booth was really small. There was really only room for two people, so Tyler leaned in, and Erin kinda sat on Corey's lap, except I think she fell out at some point - hahah!
I love that Erin kinda falls out of the picture, then comes back, then all of the sudden Tyler falls out! 
We're a silly bunch.
