Birthday Mojo

 If you wanna come and take a ride with me, I can take you to the place where the Catty Kitchen will be...

Rolling with the homies

 Hooray! Jenn turns 26 today and is finally out of diapers. To celebrate her new-found adulthood we took her to Mojo's Tapas restaurant for some good eats.

The menu and drink selection was more extensive than I think we all anticipated and it was fun to try some new things. I drank my first mojito and feel like a total hipster now. Jennifer actually tried some food with mushrooms on it and didn't gag.

Edamame Hummus and Billy Goat Chips

Our night was undeniably tame in comparison to other events aside from Jennifer opening her gifts which was a riot. We did, however, look amazing (duh) and were certainly the most exuberant group in the house.

Amy is quickly becoming one of the funniest people I've met.

Beautiful mommy Mel and OP swapping tales.

Unfortunately there were so many pics of the gifts I feel it needs its own spotlight so look for that. In the meantime, if you love you some Jennifer holla atcha gurrl and tell her happy birthday!

A Birthday Song

Make it happen on yo berfday

If yo name is J-Fer Kuhn

We ain't bring no damn pinatas

And we popped all dem balloonz

Count up seven teddy bears

and drink yo liquor straight

god has got her "eye" on you

and mushrooms on yo plate

Next year on yo berfday

we may not even sing

But bust a move and shake yo thing

if you love TCK!

Why I love me some Jennifer

Accidentally, once, I professed my true love for Jennifer...in front of my brother...who also happens to be her boyfriend. Talk about awkward. I meant it too even though I was under the influence. My shocking revelation came as a bit of a surprise to all of us I think, but I have some very good reasons for my love of this child.

• Jennifer is my crocheting buddy.
• Jennifer passed the sister-in-law test.
• Jennifer will embark on crazy adventures.
• Jennifer has marvelous skin.
• Jennifer is the kind of friend we should all strive to be. I wish I was half as good as her.
• Jennifer likes to dance.
• Jennifer is not afraid to cry. In fact, she does it a lot.
• Jennifer's love of tacky goods is not at all offensive and fits her perfectly.
• Jennifer may be genetically connected to one of my children somehow.
• Jennifer is my cosmetic connection.

Jennifer, I wish you the happiest 26th going on 16th birthday ever. Please consider this your irrevocable contract into sisterhood. I believe I speak for all of us when I say you make us very happy.

Love,
Caesar

I heart J-Fer!

Happy Birthday month Jenn! In honor of you, I have prepared a little poem.

My friend Jenn is so dear to me,
she doesn't even charge me a fee.
She's my friend no matter what,
and never a pain in my butt.
I hope she knows just how much I love her,
and that she will always be my one and only J-Fer!

Okay so pretty lame, I know but you get the point. Jenn is awesome and she knows it! Which is one of the many many things I love about her. And here are a few other things I love about Jenn.

• Her confidence in herself
  
• The fact that she can rock a silver teddy bear necklace
• Her kind heart
• Glee
• That we can geek our and cry at lame movies or tv shows or a song
  
• Her love for beer
• Knowing that she's always there no matter what

I could go on and on. J-Fer is a cool cat and I'm very lucky to call her my friend!

The End

J is for Jennifer

Happy birthday Stamy

Happy birthday Amy

Happy birthday Pope Amy

Happy birthday to you!

 She loved her vintage cookbook and spices from Penzey's.

At Onesto's we enjoyed too long of a wait and homemade Sangria. Oh yeah, and Vin Diesel was spinning the pies.

Once we were seated the evening was fabulous and the food was fantastic. I can't wait to go there again and not have to wait so long.

Amy digs into her ham sandwich with turkey on it.

I am shoving an amazing slice of pizza into my gut.

Jenn eerily eyeballs TCK's baby mama's dinner. Mel looks so cute with her belly.

And somehow, after harassing our waiter Todd all night, he agreed to take our photo. He put up with a lot so I hope we tipped him right.

Thanks Amy for inviting us to your beautiful home and joining our exclusive club. Thanks other girls for the chance to hang out. It was nice to see everyone. And happy, tappy, sappy birthday to Pope Amy! Way to kick off the year right.
