Don and the Pope

I love celebrating birthdays. This weekend it was for Don, one of James's best friends. We're all turning 25 this year, and it doesn't feel like it. The waiter at Buca di Beppo guessed that Don was turning 22. I guess that's not so bad, but I know if it were me, he would've guessed maybe 20. I still have a hard time with that because being a teacher, I want to look older. Anyway, we had a fun time at the restaurant for Don's big day, especially because we reserved the party room (which also is the Pope room apparently). Everywhere you looked, you saw the Pope or nuns in pictures. It was great! It brought me back to high school. Plus, the table had the biggest Lazy Susan I've ever seen. I want to get one of those in my future house.

Here's to being a quarter of a century!

The whole clan, or what's left of us.

So, of course James and Clark will take any opportunity to pose, and it so happened that they matched completely that night except Clark is the dark version and James is the light version. Check it out--from head to toe. Impressive.
