Birthday Boys

The time period between January 17th and March 31st is like one big celebration for us.  It starts with my brother's birthday, then Valentine's day, Matt's birthday, our anniversary, Will's birthday, Richard's birthday, and then my dad's birthday!  Whew...I told you it was a lot!  So this week we have had some fun celebrating our brother-in-laws' birthdays!  They are just one day apart, one this past Sunday and one on Monday.  
For Will's we met everyone at Olive Garden after church and then went to their apartment to eat cake. 
As always, Olive Garden was delicious!  Matt tried that new Pansotti dish (he's a sucker for those commercials...haha) and he said it was awesome. 
Will's parents are so sweet, it is always great to see them!
Jordan made a carrot cake to DIE for!  She homemade it from a Southern Living recipe and it was worth all her trouble.  It was moist and perfect, good job Jordan :)
Here is the group out to eat for Richard's birthday.  We went to the best mexican restaurant right by Lauren and Richard's house- Rio Grande.  He had just gotten in yesterday from Uganda so we were also celebrating a safe and productive trip.  
Funny story- so my sister had been planning all day to make Richard a $25,000 cake- which sounds odd, but its just a chocolate cherry cake.  Its one of my dad's favorites so we have it all the time, but I've never had this particular cake anywhere else.  Well, Lauren had some car issues and ended up not being able to make the cake so Miss AnneMarie (Richard's mom) told her not to worry, she had it under control.  Lauren didn't tell her what she was planning on making, but Miss AnneMarie made the EXACT cake Lauren was going to make.  Isn't that freaky and so random?!?  I thought it was!
The very happy birthday boy and his little wife. 
Happy birthday Will and Richard!  We are very, very blessed with wonderful brother-in-laws! We love you guys :)
