Walrus' Birthday

Yesterday was Walrus' birthday. Oh, Walrus. It's hard to believe you've been in our family for five years now.

If you're wondering if I am, in fact, talking about C's stuffed animal walrus named Walrus... you're correct. And yes, we absolutely celebrated Walrus' birthday yesterday. Because he is important in our family and someday he won't be. Let them be little and all that you know?

We went to Red Robin for dinner. C had a doctor's appointment that took a very long time and we were all hungry and cranky afterward. We had planned to have fish for dinner because he's a walrus, but going out just seemed more festive and redeeming.

Obviously Shu Shu the panda came too. We went so early. There was a point where we were truly the only customers. I even joked with Husband that if we explained that we were there celebrating Walrus maybe they'd even be bored enough to sing. We did not, actually, attempt that. 

Then we had cupcakes. Remember a few weeks ago when I made walrus cupcakes? Well, I just defrosted the cupcakes I had frozen. It worked out great, they were tasty. We bought some chocolate marshmallow frosting and stuck a Swedish Fish on top. Easy peasy.

It sure made the day fun and on these wintery blah days that we have been stuck with, I will take it. Today was the first time in all the winter weather advisories and warnings lately where we didn't get walloped. Just two inches and life went on as normal. Maybe, just maybe, we are turning a corner?!
