Birthday Dinner At Maggiano's

Maggiano's was amazing! The best Italian food you can ever get!
So Sunday night we took about a 30 minute trip to Maggiano's Little Italy, which was awesome. We had made a reservation earlier, so right away we were whisked to a corner booth, which had a chandelier, various photos hung on the wall, and the ambiance was very rustic, family style food. Don't get me wrong though- it was anything but casual. I wore a nice sweater with a cool design in the back and some nice jeans, and everyone else trussed up a little. I ordered a Chicken and Spinach Manicotti, which was served on a burning hot plate around as wide as my chest (and I have very broad shoulders). It was smothered in rich creamy cheese, and had a creamy chicken/spinach mix in the inside. It was just simply incredible! I could only finish about half of it, but everyone else at the table agreed that my dish was the best (yay!).
I even got the waitress to take a picture of the whole family, together. I love this picture :)

Starting from the left is my mom. She is one of the reasons I had such an awesome birthday! Then, there's me, of course with the glare in my eyes, even without glasses!! Why?! But hey, it's okay. Then, partly obscured by a wine bottle (as you can see, my older family went to town a bit) there's my little sissy. I'm not going to share her name for privacy reasons, but she's such a sweet little kid! Then there's my brother, who's always good to have around if you want to hear a joke....and then there's my Auntie Kelly, who recently moved in from Denver Colorado! Keep in mind we're near Houston, Texas. She recently got an apartment here. We're all very excited for her. And last but not least, my pop. He actually smiled in this picture, which is pretty rare for him. That's partly why I like this photo so much. Everyone looks so comfortable and happy.  

Well, that was Maggiano's. I had a great time. You should head over to a Maggiano's near you! It's worth it, trust me. The food comes in huge portions, they have rich desserts, amazing service, and of course, delectable Italian food. Thanks, Maggiano's for a wonderful time! I felt so blessed last night being there with my family :)
