Since joining my family, Jared has not only had to share his birthday with his twin brother Jason on January 22nd, but also with my sister Charlene (January 21st) and my brother Richard (January 23rd). Poor Jared. It was worse than usual this year. My sister turned the big 5-0 this year, so of course we had to celebrate big. We planned a big surprise birthday party at our house with the whole family on Saturday. We even topped it off with lots of "over the hill" decorations, black balloons (to Jared's dismay), black frosting, candles and cake and black presents. There were several geriatric items that showed up and even some nasty looking underwear. No one admitted to bringing those, but I have a hunch that my mom was somehow involved. I'm not sure if we actually surprised Charlene, but we had fun trying to pull it off. Everyone showed up and we ate lots of pizza, cake and ice cream and played Bunco (or as Jared calls it - "Mormon Gambling.") We all had a great time celebrating Char's 50th birthday.
Jared's birthday was Sunday and he celebrated by spending 9 hours at church while suffering with a cold. Then he came home to no leftover pizza (Kennedy was hungry and she loves pizza!) Okay, maybe I helped her eat some of it. Then we ate dinner at Jason and Kristin's house. The dinner was excellent, even if Jared didn't get exactly what he wanted. He did get the dessert he picked (after he and Jason did some bargaining). All in all, as Jared mentioned before, I don't think this will be the most memorable birthday for him, but come on, it was only 31, what do you expect! Happy birthday, Jared, Jason, Charlene and Richard!
