Today, Josh celebrates his 31st birthday. Lily must have been extra excited cause she got up a whole hour early this morning! We let Josh sleep in and Lily and I made his Breakfast Cake (recipe below). Tonight we're having the Birthday Feast at Babe's Chicken with his mom Carolyn (also her b-day!) and brother Jared. I must say, this pregnant lady is looking forward to some good southern cookin'! If you can, leave Josh a comment on his big day and check out last year's post for some pics of him growing up. Love you, babe! Happy 31st!

This recipe comes from Noel Piper's Treasuring God In our Traditions (a great read). I've been making it for every special day in our family: birthdays, big holidays, etc. and it's already something that Lily looks forward to. It turns out kind of like a coffee cake. Enjoy!

Happy belated Birthday Josh! Matt and I too love Babe's chicken. Hope you guys had a great celebration.
Happy belated Josh! Orlando Bloom, wow...impressive! And next time we see you at the gym, we want to see you do the "meat and greet" and "the donkey." I think the eighties headband should be part of it too. Hope you had a great birthday!
