Clint is officially 27 years old. Like a good wife, I keep teasing him that he is well on his way to thirty now! ;) haha. Unfortunately, he had to work most of his birthday. (I think everyone should have their birthday off, but his work didn't agree.) Before he went to work though, I made sure we went out to breakfast to start the day out right. After work, we went and did a little wining and dinning (ok, no wining but we did dine.) Because I don't like seafood that much, I hinder Clint's experiences to have seafood. He loves seafood and would like it if we ate it more. I decided to indulge him for his birthday. I took him to Max's Oyster Bar in West Hartford. It was a nice restaurant and even though it smelt of fish, it was tasty and I survived. Clint splurged and got a WHOLE lobster, body and all. I asked him how he can eat something that sits there and stares at him while he eats it. He said it didn't bother him. It bothered me and I wasn't even eating the lobster. It was crazy. He said it was really good. I rebelled and ordered one of the four things on the whole menu that weren't fish. I got chicken and mashed potatoes (my favorite) and it was delicious. I had planned on going bowling afterwords, but it ended up being the bowling leagues night. So Clint asked to go to Cabellas (he is a true man. haha). So we hung out there and then came home and ate Clint's cake. I must say this cake turned out better than the one last year. (Last year I turned it pink and it didn't taste that great. haha) This year it looked better and tasted better! Goal accomplished!

| Oreo wasn't sure what to think about the balloons (as evident by the look on his face) |

| After awhile, he decided he liked them (at least until they popped). |

(Oreo is sooo funny! We enjoy watching him experience new things. Below are two little videos. The first one he is trying to get to the birthday cake on the counter. He wanted it soooo bad!! The second one is him figuring out that the balloons are actually fun to play with.)
