Birthdays

Jeff and I celebrate our birthdays one day apart, with 2 years in between but we don't have to talk about that...:) Mine is Jan. 16 and his is Jan. 17. We had lots of ways to celebrate this year. Mom and Jim took us out to eat at Crazy Cajun's to celebrate Jeff's birthday. And a week or so later, we went to the Summit Club to celebrate mine. We were spoiled and had lots of fun above our expectations! Jeff's parents, brother (Bobby), and Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Bob came to visit us to celebrate the weekend after our birthdays. It was tons of fun. We took them to Tuscaloosa to see Jeff's new office, came back for some rounds of bowling on the Wii, and out to a nice dinner at Hot and Hot Fish Club. Great food and we had a small world experience: We bumped in to Dawn Kirkland, Dave Ramsey's #1 realtor for the Birmingham area and our dear friend! I love seeing friends when you don't expect it! We enjoyed all getting together for Sunday lunch after church before everyone went home. Thanks for bringing the King Cake, because I have not mastered my baking skills. I attempted once again to make a birthday cake for us and it turned out ok but a little more like a brownie consistency. Recipes for desserts imply you should no more about baking than they give me credit! Mom, I should have paid more attention when you were trying to teach me things in the kitchen when I was a little girl! One special birthday gift we got was from my sister-in-law's 5 year old kindergarten class Advice on Parenting. I'm going to try to put the Video here but not sure I can do it... - Thanks everyone for making us feel special!! We love you all!
