Happy Birthday!

Jeff's birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year, April 12, so we decided to celebrate a little early in order to separate the occasions. Tonight Collin and Kevin joined us and we all went out for a celebratory dinner at one of our fave Mexican joints. After dinner, we returned home and Jeff opened his birthday gifts - a loaded iPod Nano and some yard lighting, along with some cash and coins from family. Then Connor insisted that Daddy blow out some candles (and I barely talked him out of the birthday hat), so we loaded up Jeff's favorite chocolate cake from Treebeard's with tons of birthday candles. OK, not tons, but I'll let you figure out how many there might be on there! After enjoying cake and ice cream, we all relaxed and watched a movie together. It was a nice evening. Happy Birthday, Jeff!!

Before heading out for dinner, we snapped a family photo by the lake in our backyard.

A quick pic of Jeff and I at dinner.

Here's Jeff with his chocolate cake loaded with candles (can you guess how many?)

And now the candles are lit. It's like a bonfire! Can he blow them all out?

Yep, success! But check out all the smoke!

After dinner, Jeff and Connor cuddled while watching a movie.
