Birthday Celebrations at Barrio!!!

Today is my dear friend Taffy's birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAFFY!! I have known Taffy for close to 11 years. We met at one of my first lovely county funded jobs as a case manager. Well, our birthdays are a week apart. About 9 years ago we decided that each year for our birthdays, we would go out to a nice dinner, basically an excuse for a girls night out. One year we saved money and bought new Coach bags. Then two years ago we decided to celebrate for my big 35 and her 40 we went to Mexico. Yes, we will need to go back someday, maybe for my 40th? Or now! Because I truly need a vacation.
This year instead of the two of us doing dinner, I thought it would be fun to get a group of us and go to Barrio DT St.Paul. That place is my new love. Love it , Love it. Great atmosphere, food and drinks.
Well, needless to say we did party that night. If you know me, I have not been crazy since I have had kids, would you say that I have slowed down a bit? I'll let you make the decision. I hope I do not offend anyone that actually might read my blog, I think there is just a handful of my friends. It has been a crazy few weeks. So, we let it loose. Well, actually everyone did!

Here are pictures of our night:
