Luke's Birthday Dinner

A week before Luke's birthday, we celebrated by eating his favorite kind of food: Mexican. We were heading to San Diego the day of his birthday for our very good friends, Joey and Chelsea's wedding (post to come soon...with video!).

My employer's Christmas party was at this hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Los Olivos, and after that party, I knew Luke would love to give it a try...and boy did he love it! Los Olivos is one of the oldest restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale. Our waitress has been working there since she was a little girl (she looked well into her 60s when we visited) and her sister has been making the homemade tortillas since she was a little girl, as well. She has the tortilla making down because it was by far the best (and biggest!) tortilla I have ever had. We had a ton of food on the table, and only had a small box left to take home. We cannot wait to go back soon and eat some more delicious tortillas and salsa.

The homemade tortillas are huge!!

Happy Birthday, Hamilton!

Hamilton turned the big 2 on Friday! We celebrated yesterday by giving him a whole can of soft food. He ate every bit of it in less than 5 minutes! After he finished his food he took a long nap and we didn't see much of him for the rest of the day. Here's some pics of our celebration.

Hamilton's birthday present. It is a little tube with crinkly stuff in it. He loves to bat at it, and obviously lounge in it :).

Hamilton and his friend

Our house has been the hub of kitty meetings for a few weeks now. Two or three other cats in the neighborhood visit our backyard every other day or so and Hamilton loves to watch them. He runs from room to room trying to keep an eye on the cats. And if the blinds are shut Hamilton will let us know that he wants to go in the window my scratching at the wall below it.
