Mike joined our family by marrying Tia over a year ago. His birthday is August 17th, the day after my Mom's, and last year he was off doing army things on his birthday and so we didn't get to help celebrate a birthday with him until this year. We had tacos. There was game playing (Battleship, Skipbo, and Suspend). And then there was the brownie trifle -- with trick candles. We do enjoy trick candles!

Connor, Tia, Mike and Jake playing Skipbo. If I overheard correctly, Jake won both times.

Mike's brownie trifle in the Hug mug,
which is a mug I bought for Derek in one of our first years of marriage.
It's a vintage mug :-) |
 |
Mike (and maybe Tia) blowing out Mike's candles.
For the first time. |
 |
| This is probably the 3rd or 4th time. |
 |
| He thought he finally had them out -- but they were pretty persistent candles! |
It's always good to have Mike around. We are really glad that he married Tia. They are good at helping, smiling, laughing, and generally making everything more fun. Happy Birthday to Mike!
