jake and i love dinner night! its really fun to get together once a week with our friends, and we think of fun ways to entertain ourselves!

then my birthday was on 1.19, i turned 23 yrs old! OLD.

jake made me a cake (the one my mom always made, he had it perfect!)

and then he invited a few friends over, aswell as Jacob, Carissa and Finn.

we had cake and ice cream and hung out, Jacob and family left and the friends stayed and we played dominos.

i have never played befor, but for some reason jake and i have Dominos game..

its a Mullin family favorite, so kerry taught us all how to play
