Birthday Dinner at Yummy Sushi
Jenn's birthday was December 7th and she turned the big 2-7 much to her dismay. So to celebrate on the day of, a small group of her close friends went out to her restuarant of choice Yummy Sushi in the Chinatown area on Somerset. Yummy Sushi is an all-you-can-eat sushi place so you can imagine the mass quantities of raw fish that were consumed that night. I was actually surprised Jenn didn't swim home after. My favorite was the green dragon roll - it was delicious!
After dinner, we had present opening and a Nanaimo bar cake (provided by Culley who had to actually put the Nanaimo bars on hold at M and M's earlier that day because they are in such high demand). Jenn got some lovely gifts and everyone had a great night celebrating with her! I think her favorite gift was the Michel Bolton CD much to her co-workers chagrin, I think infrastructure Canada will be Going the Distance this week...

Jenn's Birthday Party!
So, we waited until the weekend to really celebrate Jenn's birthday with a bigger group of friends. As it turned out, one of Jenn's co-workers, Martha (below in the picture with Jenn), was also celebrating her birthday this week so we decided to have a joint birthday party at our place followed by a night out at a club downtown.
We had about 20 people at our place before for drinks, food, dancing and lots of gab. Entrance to the party was a canned good for the Food Bank given the time of year, we felt that was very appropriate. Jenn wore her sparkly new dress and the rest of the girls were dressed up too. Anyone who says government workers are stodgy or boring really needs to come to Ottawa and meet these girls!
From what I recall, the night was a blast and everyone had a great time - Considering who the two hosts were, no one should be surprised :)
Happy Birthday Jenn!!!
