My brothers were born on the same day (August 30th), but are two years apart in age. This means that each year they have to “share” a birthday celebration. Trav and Emily were finishing up their Wisconsin visit before they head to Peru to be missionaries, so we had the birthday celebration yesterday. Luke and his fiancee Cheyanne came up from Madison to join us. My mom got us all corralled together for a family picture before Trav and Emily left to attend a baptism for a couple of hours. While they were gone we ate dinner, watched Adventure Time, and played with remote control cars and stilts. After they got back, we brought out the Willy Wonka cake Julie made and proceeded to eat ourselves into a sugar coma.
It's called a Willy Wonka cake for a reason. There's chocolate cake and frosting in there somewhere.
For some reason there were stilts

It was a perfect day
Even Bug got in on the action, although she really just wanted to be inside
Being out in the country means applying lots of bug spray

Everyone made Luke a shirt from left over letters from a different project. This was the front
And the back
This is how we all felt after eating the cake and ice cream

Thank you for posting a picture of Travis’s shirt over my head…gross.
