Memorial Weekend- Part 2

Sunday evening we celebrated my brother's 31st Birthday at my parents house on the lake. Us girls enjoyed some shopping in the afternoon while the guys fished. We made our way back to my parents to grill! Anyone that knows my brother knows that he loves fishing & hunting. Tiffany had this cake made & it couldn't have been more perfect!






We had some delicious food for his Birthday. We enjoyed steaks, baked potatoes with sea salt-(the best), asparagus, salad, & yummy Rick's Bakery cake! Oh, & of course our family secret punch! We are serving at Avery's party Saturday too!





Some pictures of our evening together as a family...





















So the evening ended hilariously! We were all on the dock enjoying Aaron's Birthday dinner when Tiffany (his wife) took off her favorite ring that our friend Melissa gave her & it flew off her finger right into the water. Let the pictures do the talking...

We were really enjoying our steaks & the night air...

When Tiffany & my brother took off running to the bottom of the dock- check out her sad face...

Aaron tried to "fish" around for it with one of his fishing poles...

...No luck so he took his shirt off...

The guys came down from dinner to hold his feet, it was kind of deep!

And under he goes to capture this ring!!!

The ring... finally! Tiffany's favorite ring was saved!

We all died laughing and had a kick out of it the rest of the evening. I am sure people heard us across the lake & were wondering what the heck went down!

Needless to say, we had a great Birthday celebration that evening. Happy 31st Aaron! I love you brother!
