Happy birthday to our sister in law

Our sister in law, Lora's, birthday was Tuesday & we all went to O'Charley's to celebrate!

Cole had his head in his laptop & when I tried to take his picture, he would make a face. (Side note-his dad told him to turn it off when he got there. Lucky for him, Grandma was sitting next to him. So he waited a bit... then he said very, very softly, "Grandma-can I turn my computer back on?" She said, "Sure Cole-no one is talking to you anyway..." Brady got the biggest burger I have ever seen!
And of course if Brady had a picture taken with his food, Mr. Attenion had to have one too...

Ann couldn't find her lighter for the candles. Our waiter had told us a certain busboy had one. So I walked up to him & said, "Hey. Word on the street is that you have a lighter. Can I borrow it for a sec?!"

Look whose right in the middle of the present opening action...

We got Lora a gym bag type thingie to use when she runs.

AND I know somebody that does embroidery so I had her put Lora's name on it. (Please notice Derik in the background on his phone. Yes, this dinner had its fair share of electronic device usage. Brady, B-rad, Stanley, Cole & Derik. However I thought you may be tiring of those pics so I didn't take any..)

Cole also enjoyed the cake & the icing...

He's always good for a laugh! I can't figure out if this pic looks like a mug shot or he's drunk...

There were a few family members MIA - Erin, Eric & the girls...We missed you guys!!!

Here's what you missed...Derik texted B-rad jokes the whole time.

Brian was being VERY quiet (shocker) because he 'forgot' to go to jury duty that day! I was SOOO hoping a cop would show up...

I helped light the candles on the cake (I mean - I did go get the lighter & all..) & the wax dripped on my new fake nails & left a mark on one.

Surprisingly there were no fights or arguments. Brian & Brady didn't bother or bug Derik as far as I could tell. Weird..Brian must've been reaaaaaly worried about that jury duty thing...
