Out with the girls

Kristen said that for her birthday she wanted to go out to lunch then shopping downtown with her mom and sisters. Mom chose a great place called Novo with patio seating overlooking the creek by the mission. It was a beautiful setting and perfect weather.

Three of us ordered this yummy chicken sandwich with sliced apples, brie and caramelized onions. It was fabulous!
Ellen ordered this fancy appetizer (I think it was Moroccan lamb) as her meal.
Emily happened to mention to our server that it was Kristen's birthday, and she surprised her with this beautiful vanilla bean custard with raspberries, mint and a sparkling candle.
Kristen said next time we should all save room for dessert. Afterwards we walked around and shopped. Mostly we just window shopped, but we all went a little nuts at Bath and Body Works because of their huge sales. I also got cute bright fish with hooks for Spencer's ocean room. It was a fun day!
