Lou and his Uncle Roger have the same birthday (15 years apart!) so every year the family gets together at Nannie and Pa's house to celebrate. When Lou and I were first dating, Lou's cake said 25 and Roger's cake said 40. Time flies! Aunt Lisa was there with Terry Beth and Jessica, and Jessica's husband Whitney. Aunt Julie was there, as was Lauren. And Roger Dale and Bonny, who is having a baby in December. My mom came, too. Every year, Nannie makes Lou and Roger the same kind of cakes, and every year Roger tried to convince everyone to not eat his cake, so he can hog it. Oh, and this year Jake blew out Lou's candles and thought it was hilarious. That picture at right? Pa gives Jake dollar bills all the time. It's hilarious.
Lou's actual birthday fell on Monday, so after working all day (he took the day off) I rushed to Publix to buy groceries and a cake, came home and unloaded it, went to mom's to pick up Jake, then we came home and had a quick birthday sing/cake eat before Monday night football started. Jake had a blast putting the candles on the cake -- he decided that there should be ten. One for every three years, I suppose?
Looks like lots of fun was had by all...but, where's the beer? :)

Lisa, beer was in the fridge. Drinking beer while eating cake would have violated an age old international treaty and would have subjected my family to INTERPOL sanctions.
