My Birthday!

Yesterday January 6th was my birthday!
I didn't plan anything; I usually just go out for a dinner with Ryan and my parents on my birthday.

But my amazing best friends Emily and Ashley had something else in mind. They surprised me with dinner at Mango Shiva, a beautiful Indian restaurant on Stephen Ave. I have walked by here so many times and ALWAYS wanted to go in, because it's so unique. Here are the photos from the night!
Indian food is my absolute favorite next to Japanese. I could live in naan bread and butter chicken. I had the Rustic Chicken Curry above with nann for dinner, a couple martini's and lots of red wine =)
Andrew does the best blue steel EVER, bar none.
Emily actually baked me a delicious chocolate buttercream layer cake, and had our waitress bring it out for me after dinner!
It was seriously to die for. She definitely has amazing baking skills!
I LovE you Em and Ash! Always!
I feel so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. It can be hard to find people you truly connect with, and I've definitely found it with these people! Our conversations just flow, and five hours, five bottles of wine later, we wonder where the time has gone.
After dinner, I was't quite ready to go home, so me Ryan and Dave headed across to V Bar.

Banana vodka shots, because .... it was my birthday!

I danced the night away, (haven't stepped into a nightclub in seriously, YEARS, apart from my stagette), and had a blast with these two! You rock Dave; you're an amazing friend to both of us and thanks for getting us home!

I hope you are having a great weekend!!

SO FUN! What a great way to celebrate and so much more fun that it was a surprise! I am with you on the Indian food- I LOVE Indian food so much, butter chicken... I can't even believe how it tastes when I take a bite. The new place I am moving into at the end of this month has a Starbucks, Subway and Indian food restaurant at the street level- it makes me SO excited. Glad you had such a great night and the restaurant looks so cool.

PS in the picture of your group all together, your friend's scarf looks like it's pixelated out. hah, I was confused for a second.
