One year older

Sunday was Becka's and my birthday, and although Becka feels I am years older, we in fact are both now 23. It was a great day full of family and friends. I was scheduled to work until 3 and had a great day with all of my coworkers and then came home to celebrate with Jesse, Becka, Mark, Christie, my brother Paul and his girlfriend Jaya, and our friends Sarah, Ash and Courtney. Mark cooked one of the best meals I have ever had..it was DELICIOUS. It was truly a great evening with people we love so much. Thank you everyone for coming! Here are a few pictures from the birthday weekend.

Here is a picture of my new sleeping bag that Mark and Christie gave me.
I LOVE it and now will be able to truly enjoy WARM camping!

Becka and I showing that although we are now 23, we still act much younger :)

Monday was also included into the birthday celebration because of the holiday and the fact that Jesse had off of work! We started the morning with breakfast at the Manitou Pancake and Steakhouse. Good choice for Becka and I, not so much for Jesse, unfortunately. After breakfast we headed to the batting cages!! Instead of writing about it, I think I'll just let you watch a video of Becka and Jesse.

After the batting cages, we drove up to
Green Mountain Falls where they have a small lake.
To our pleasant surprise, it was frozen over!
Many people had brought their ice skates
and were enjoying the lake in its winter glory.
We however, with only our shoes,
decided to just slide around.

It was tons of fun!

As you can see, Gracie had a blast too.
