Happy Groundhog Day!

And Happy 27th Birthday, Brian! Brian's birthday was Tuesday, so we had a day full of birthday fun! For dinner we went to this really wonderful restaurant called Volkswirt and had some DELISH steaks that came with these awesome potatoes and roasted veggies. The restaurant was really nice, too! They had a "wine cave" that was heated with these two brick fireplaces. Very nice for a VERY snowy evening!

After dinner, we came home to enjoy Brian's favorite dessert - Derby Pie! The birthday miracle, however, was the accompanying ice cream. I had picked up some ice cream at the local grocery store to go along with the pie (our first German ice cream purchase), and I had decided to be adventurous and try the bourbon vanilla instead of just plain vanilla. Oh my GOODNESS is it good. Seriously, it is now a crucial ingredient to Derby Pie - we call it the Kentucky Special. Yum....

Happy Birthday, Bri!

The restaurant was so toasty!

I loved the piano and candles

The Birthday Bri

I know it's generic brand (ja!), but Texans, it's as creamy as Blue Bell!! Seriously.

The killer combo...
