Jared's 25th Birthday! Warning - you may just want to watch the video ;-)

 

Well, another of our "babies" has passed the quarter century mark!! ;-) This video is actually from February 6th. Bekah, Glenn, and Bryson were visiting and leaving the next morning so we celebrated Sunday evening before Jared's birthday... "Birthday Eve?". This video has preserved a family tradition of honoring the birthday "child" with our "as-bad-as-you-can-get" rendition of singing happy birthday. Honest... we don't usually sound that bad. :-D
Unfortunately I stopped recording too early, because Jared was just about to take a nice big bite out of his cake. ...my family... awwww...
Here is the still after the big bite.

 
♪♫ Happy Birthday, Jared!! ♪♫
We love you!! :)

Oh, and I have to say this cake tastes a lot better than it looks. This lemon cake has been Jared's requested birthday cake for four years now. The first time I made it we lived in SoCal and it turned out amazing (if I do say so myself), but there is something about living at this high altitude in Utah that does not like cakes. I have tried adjusting it for altitude and it still does not turn out quite right, but we will keep trying. At least it is still very yummy. :)
