It's crazy that Abe, my little brother Austin and Abe's little sister Leah all share the same birthday. What are the chances?! This year, we were able to celebrate Abe's birthday 3 times (hmm...funny how that works). The first night was the actual night of their birthday. Leah was able to join us as well and we had a simple, yet delicious, dinner of Costco pizza and birthday cake. Last night, we went over to Jake and Nissa's house for a second birthday dinner or steak, asparagus, cheesy mashed potatoes and cabbage salad. We ended the night with a small dance party in Jake and Nissa's front room, the perfect ending to a wonderful night :) Finally, tonight we headed up to Salt Lake where Mandi and Thomas put together a delectable dinner to celebrate Abe's birthday. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and WHEAT rolls!! It was so fun to spend time with them and to just relax. We really are fortunate to live close to so much family. We missed you this year Austin and will for the next couple of years, but hopefully when you get back from your mission we'll all be together again to celebrate, just like old days! Love you and hope you had as wonderful a birthday as Abe did!
