Celebrate!

February is always a busy month for me. Aside from the obvious, the Valentine’s Day, we have a bunch more celebrations on Feb. First, Popoy’s birthday on the 4th, my birthday is on the 25th, our wedding anniversary on the 26th, (we are one year married! time flies!), Alou’s birthday is on the 27th, and my niece’s birthday, Avery, on the 28th. That’s four consecutive days celebration! Well for our wedding anniversary celebration, my wife and I went to Poconos in Pennsylvania. It’s about 3.5 hours drive from Bmore, but it’s ok. I love driving anyway, as long as I know where to go, it’s cool. Anyway, Poconos is a great place to be. Lots of activities to do. It was great coz there were only a few people there, perfect atmosphere for lovebirds such as me and me wifey. lol But it would be great for family vacations during the summer. There’s a lake, there’s golf, tennis, volleyball, badminton etc. I really recommend it!

Our friends took us out to Fogo de Chao. It was the day of Alou’s bday and I surprised her for she didn’t know our friends were coming. She only thought it was just going to be me and Avery. So she was really surprised and I also got her some cake from of course, Yia Yia bakery! I got one of them cupcakes that are put together to make as one cake. But let me tell you about Fogo, I love that place! If you want to feel like you are a celebrity, wait, let me change that, to a king or a queen, you better go visit this place. If you live in Bmore, you probably already know where it is, but if not, it’s by the Inner Harbor where PF Chang’s is right across the ESPN zone. Anyway, dining at Fogo was an experience. I would love to go back there again. Although it is a pricy, especially dinnertime, but it was worth it especially if you love meat, meat and more meat. lol Anyway, we really have great friends! We also got free tickets to the Orioles game and also to the circus! Thanks soooo much to Evelyn, Yary(she didn’t make it though), Oscar and Grewlyn, we had a lot of fun!!!

Popoy turns 1 yr old!

Feb. 4 was Popoy’s bday.  But since it’s a weekday, we celebrated his birthday on a sunday, Feb. 8th.  We only invited a few friends that are dog lovers.  We invited my friends Eve with Jordie, a beagle and Eve’s sister Yary.  Also, my sister Gigi and my niece Avery along with Theo boy came as well.  Then my brother Hadji and DD came during their break.  My wife baked some mac and cheese, we had some hotdogs, some chicken wings and my wife made some grilled cheese sandwiches.  We also bought some cake from Yia Yia’s bakery.  They bake some good cakes and desserts let me tell ya.  Anyway, back to the party…  My wife bought dog party decors and put them up the day before.  To sum it up, we had fun.  Here are some pics:
