Megan had a great birthday day! Even though it was a Thursday, the kids had off Wednesday and Thursday for Student Led Conferences, so it was great that she was home for the day! Dan took off the morning and we went to a new to us restaurant for breakfast! The Early Bird is a small hole-in-the-wall cafe south of here that serves western-style breakfasts - i.e. American breakfast! We got there and realized we should have made reservations. I thought friends that had said that here just meant for the weekends...clearly not. It has around 4 tables inside and is packed regardless of the morning! After a fairly quick wait of 20 minutes, we were seated and ready to eat! Megan ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes with country fried potatoes and sausage!
The food was great, we had a great time and we will need to head back there sometime! Yummy food and a great little place!
The rest of the day was pretty low key - hanging out at home, watching a movie, pb&j crackers for lunch (Megan's choice) and shrimp scampi and orzo w/feta and red pepper for dinner (also Megan's choice!)! We had a great day and enjoyed celebrating our 10 year old!
Kylie and Megan with the sweet card Kylie made - it reads Happy Birthday Megan, I love you Megan
Jack's sweet card he made for Megan - with her initials and a nice note inside it! 
Two of the presents we gave Megan - a fun scarf from H&M and a great necklace that has her name written in Arabic in it! She also got the American Adventures Series of 48 books :)
Megan couldn't believe that the Early Bird had these enormous containers of syrup on the tables - and wanted her picture taken with it!
