Reid's Birthday

We celebrated Reid's birthday on Friday May 20th.  For his cake, we ordered a cheesecake from a local bakery, Cake This.  I actually stumbled onto them through Groupon and got an amazing deal.  It started when Groupon sent me an email saying that they missed my business (as I had not purchased a groupon in a couple of months) and so they were giving me a $10 credit that I could use sometime in the next two weeks (or so).  Well, as the days unfolded I didn't see anything I really wanted.  The day my credit was set to expire I decided I was just going to buy the Groupon if I could use it all.  It turned out to be a cheesecake from Cake This for $22, instead of the normal $39.  With my $10 credit, it would be $12 for the cake.  Perfect!  And then I bought through Swagbucks and earned enough bucks to cash in for a $5 Amazon gift card.  So, for $12 we got a cheesecake and $5 at Amazon!  Sweet!

Anyway, Reid choose the banana white chocolate cheesecake and it was delicious.  That night we also got a sitter and we headed out to dinner.  Unfortunately the place we wanted to go to had a long line, so we ended up at Red Robin.  It was good food and good company and reminded us of Centreville.  In fact, it was the first time we had been to Red Robin since our move from Centreville.  So, it was nice.

I hope Reid enjoyed his birthday!
