Scenes from a Lunch

Yesterday was my sister, Celena's, 30th birthday, so my dad threw a surprise lunch for her at Fadi's - a Mediterranean restaurant in Houston. I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time, and I'm certain we all left very full. These are some photos I took at the lunch:

Happy birthday, Nina!

Weapin' Wizards!*

So this is where the story ended. Let's go back to the beginning...

It was a lovely day at Antique Rose Emporium with Marsha and Grandma. The kids were having a blast roaming around chasing lizards and just being kids.

Then we noticed a bright green lizard on a statue next to where Grandma was sitting. So,

Daddy caught it to give the kids a close-up look. He's the best!

See here, kids, this is how you hold a lizard safely.

Kayci wants to hold it,

so of course, Noble wants to hold it, too.

Wow, Bubby--great job!

What a nice lizard, laying there so nicely.

He lets Noble pet him.

And Noble gets comfortable.

Maybe too comfortable. It takes Noble a second to realize that the lizard has, in fact, clamped down on his finger. Until Mommy gasps. And then, all heck breaks loose.

*Disclaimer: No Nobles were harmed in the making of the blog post.
