Let's Celebrate

Chris was off today so we decided to celebrate his birthday, this is the first year in several that we have actually been home for his birthday (even though it really is tomorrow but I couldn't make the meal he wanted tomorrow.)

Started the day by putting the ribs in the crockpot and getting those going bright and early and then baked the beer bread that he wanted.

Off to Publix to get his birthday cake, it was one of the chocolate ganache supremes that you see in the Publix commercial. It was very good.

Once Chris, Andy, Nikki and kids arrived we went swimming and had a good time in the pool. The ribs were smelling pretty good by this time. Spent a while playing and then it was time to eat. Everyone enjoyed the ribs, even Riley ate quite a bit.

Here is the Birthday Boy enjoying his meal.

And the cake, I would highly recommend this cake especially if you like chocolate on chocolate.


Right after lunch Riley went down for a nap and by the way all this time Kaleigh has been sleeping, don't know what they did to tire her out but it worked.

Chris had to leave shortly after that and we spent the rest of the afternoon watching the race.
