happy birthday...

So I am two days late on this post...but better late than never right? Right! Happy Birthday Jon-than!! This past Wednesday was my brothers 26th birthday...yep that is right...he is O-L-D!

he so looks like he is having a blast, right?

We didn't do anything too terribly exciting being that it was a Wednesday night and he didn't even get off work until 7:30!! We just had a family dinner to celebrate the three birthdays that happen this week! We had the best chicken marsala on the face of this earth (cooked by my other brother) and some cake! The cake had three candles on it...you know...one for me, one for Bastina, and one for my brother...guess who blew out all three? Yeah Jon-than did...so I was deprived of my birthday wish! Nice...punk-face!

Now some fun fabulous photos...

while we were waiting for dinner to be ready Jil was schooling my niece in the ways of hula-hooping. She then continued to tell us that she won a hula-hooping contest in elementary school, yeah she hooped it up for a whole hour. true story. told you this picture would be on the blog Jil...haha love you!!

I need to take a photography class...because my pictures are SO not good. I look far from cute in this picture but it was the only one I took that night of the three of us...so up on the blog it goes. enjoy.

This is the my other brother who makes the best chicken marsala 'eva! He is also the father of the cutest niece on this planet...he obviously does not like looking at the camera...so I snapped one when he was mid-conversation!

I think the dislike of having ones picture taking runs in the bloodline with the men in my family...both brothers hate it. Hence, Bastina having to direct the birthday boys head towards the lens...oh and if you are wondering he was eating a tootsie roll...

Happy birthday Jon-than!!

Now I am off to go and enjoy the weekend! After Saturday I will be officially old...mourn for me please...

What are YOUR plans for the weekend?
