December 16th was my Mom's 59th birthday. As part of our gift we invited my family over to our new house for her birthday dinner. I guess you could say that this was my first official dinner party and I can say without a doubt that I need some practice throwing dinner parties, so anyone in need of one please let me know.
The night started off horribly wrong when our little guy, Otto, got so excited to see our dinner guests that he piddled on the tile, then on the carpet, then on the BRAND NEW COUCHES! Poor Otto can't be judged to harshly since he recently got "fixed" and ever since has had some "issues." After those messes were cleaned up I proceeded to cook dinner, salmon, steak for Dev, and asparagus, and potatoes. Easy, right? Wrong. Chaos ensued as some mysterious substance decided to burn in the oven, causing the entire house to be smoky and freezing after we had to open all the doors and windows. I wish that I could say that in the midst of all the chaos I kept my cool and gracefully conquered these obstacles but afterwards I was a grumpy mess and was unable to even enjoy my dinner. Better luck next time.
In spite of my grumpiness I think everyone else had a good time, that's what I'm telling myself anyways...
My sister and the birthday girl! 
Yes we let our dog sit at the table with us while we eat, i promise this is normal.

My sister bought my mom this purse for her birthday. Apparently we have the same taste in purses.
