It honestly feels to me like just yesterday that we were navigating through life with sweet baby twins and now....
It's their 15th birthday! Last year, I didn't do the table up like this because I figured at age 14, maybe the standard table decor for Dagerath birthdays was a little too "young" for 14 year olds. Boy was I wrong! I was quickly informed that "No, in fact it is NOT too young!" so I didn't make the same mistake this year!
As always, we opened family gifts first thing in the morning. Michael was able to go into work a little late (yeah!) so about 7:30 we dragged the boys out of bed to open presents. It actually is one of my favorite parts of the day, mostly because of this....
I just love watching the smiles and excitement on the eyes of both the givers AND receivers! And hugs all around! Love it love it love it!!!After the morning birthday love, we spent the whole morning at the dentist office getting cleanings for everyone! Momma KNOWS how to throw a party don't you know! About three and a half hours lots of really clean teeth and two small fillings later, we headed downtown to have lunch with Michael.
Snapshots while stopping at a traffic light on our way downtown.Here were some shots Michael took on the River Walk while we were there. Gotta love the Riverwalk!!
Love this one!! BTW, Jonathan's slumping a little and Jeremy's sitting up very straight. They are in real life just about the same height.
We had lunch at Fuddrucker's. I forgot my camera in the car, so I had to use my cell phone. Hence, the not so quality photos. But those burgers....quality for sure! YUM! Worth throwing out the "no wheat" mantra I've been quite faithfully living by for the last few months. Nothing like those Fuddrucker hamburger buns!!
Then after winning the last regular season basketball game, we headed out to Carrabba's for dinner.
J&J even got a "pass" on the sweets fast (C'mon, I may schedule dental appts. on a birthday, but I'm not going to say "NO WAY, JOSE" when they ask with pleading eyes if they get a pass on their birthday!!)
They really enjoyed the free birthday dessert at Carrabbas...who doesn't love Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla w/ Hershey's syrup!!
And then on Wednesday, they got to eat their birthday cake. It was too late when we got home on Tuesday night, so they got to extend their birthday by another day.
This year's choice was again an ice cream sandwich cake, but with Resse's PB cups this year. They loved it!
We are so very proud of the young men that Jonathan and Jeremy have become. When they were born (and even before) we prayed things for them that we are seeing come to pass. It's such a joy! Jonathan and Jeremy, you are both such blessings to our family!!! I love yoU!!!!

WOW!! What wonderful young men they have become! I loved being with them at the beginning 15 years ago and at the tournament yesterday!
I too do love yoU!
I feel the love you share so beautifully. If this is the first 15 years, can you imagine J & J in the next 15 years!! Wow!
God bless you all.
I can remember those sweet little guys sharing an isolet, too! Now look at them! So handsome! What a fun birthday (dentist and all!). That sort of justifies the ice cream, doesn't it? Happy Birthday Big Boys! BTW, I love the picture of the four of them too. Can't wait to see you all soon!
Sounds like you guys had a fun time.
Jonathan and Jeremy got double.
They got a birthday lunch and supper out.
It's always great to extend a birthday another day.
I most of the time do that just because I take Jenna out on the little birthday thing we have together. And so we don't really do on my actul birthday.
