Birthdays, Mexican food & 80's Dancing


Last week was Kamrie and Mallory's birthdays!! Happy Birthday you guys!! I hope you both were able to find time to celebrate and have fun!

Kamrie celebrated last Thursday after school by inviting us all to Salt Lake's Red Iguana restaurant! For those of you who have never been, it is a hole in the wall Mexican place that, according to their website, has won the most awards in Utah.  It was delicious!




After an hour wait, filled with picture taking and sitting under the heaters we were seated inside and the party really began!! The food came in large platefuls and tasted amazing!






Then came the big surprise. The waiter brought over two huge platters of sopapillas with a candle in one for Kamrie! We all sang happy birthday and cheered as Kamrie blew out the candle and made a birthday wish!


















Some of the girls came dressed in their best 80's gear and headed off to an 80's dance party after dinner to continue with the fun.

(SUPERSTAR)


We had 14 girls from school show up to this one, and hope for more next time! We will keep you updated! Whatever you did this last weekend, I hope you had fun!
