(i love starting a blog post with that)

last night was so much fun!
my family (we missed you lee & jess!) went out to dinner for brett and my aunt's birthdays
since they are 1 day apart (july 14th & 15th).

there were about 25 of us all together!
they even gave us our own room to eat in...
they must have known we are LOUD!
