Brad's birthday landed on a Friday this year, which was perfect for a low-key get-together with friends. I always love celebrating another year of the greatest man I know!
Everyone met up for dinner at one of Brad's favorite places: Café Rio.
We were so glad that there was patio seating available (and I'm sure the rest of the patrons were, too) for this kid-filled group. Here are the Davis' and Seaders.

Then, it was back to our house for cake and ice cream.

It's an even-numbered year, so it was time for the monstrosity again! Brad's favorite Black Forest cake. Four layers, loads of frosting, and a ton of work, but he LOVES it! (And eats the leftovers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for as long as it lasts!)
I didn't do the full 34 candles, but you get the idea.
The cake is such a monstrosity that it requires an electric knife for "carving".
Kirk joined us a little late and got to do his dining at the kids' table. How cute!

Happy birthday, Brad!
Looks like a fun party for a fun guy!
