29th Birthday

Alison and I turned 29 on July 26th. My brother-in-law orchestrated a very nice and fun-filled weekend for Alison and since we share a birthday (and the same family and friends), Ben and I got to piggy back on their celebration! Friday night was a delicious fancy dinner at The Vinings Club and Saturday was a beers and burgers cookout at Brian and Alison's house. Thanks, Brian! We had a wonderful weekend.

Meri and Tara at the cookout......we weren't about to let a little rain (or severe thunderstorm) put a damper on our fun!
Melinda, baker extraordinaire, was kind enough to bake a penis cake to add a festive touch to the evening. Nando suggested that we place the chocolate penis on top of the beautiful red velvet cake that Mom had ordered from A Piece of Cake. Unfortunately for Nando (but fortunately for the rest of us as this was hands down the highlight of the party), he dropped the penis cake during this process but managed to catch it before it hit the floor......with his own crotch! Too bad none of us had a video camera as this was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. People were crying!

Clint and Sarah brought Avery to the party. She was a delightful guest! Cutie pie.

Ben and Nando hanging out by the keg. Gee, that's a surprise.
