A Big Day for the Otto's!

January 30th was a big day for the Otto family! First and most important: it was Jessica's 39th birthday! She got to spend the whole day off work and we all went out for dinner at Red Rocks that evening! One thing that they did that was really cool was customize the Specials menu for us! They named the last special menu item "Jessica's Birthday Mahi".Neat right? Here's some pictures from her special day!
Here she is with her birthday cake!

And here's the cake up close after she blew out the candle!

With our bellies all filled up, we went home to open presents!

Here's Zach and Jessica together! Zach gave her that beautiful necklace she's wearing!

Here's Katie and Jessica together reading the card Erik picked out for her!

And there they are smiling with the sweater Katie got for her!

Here's Erik and Jessica together while she opens the card

I like this one because they're both laughing!


Now here they are smiling for the camera!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!!!!!

Now I said there were other big things that happened yesterday as well right?
Well...one of the other one's was that Katie got her braces off!

Before Picture!

After Picture!

And last but not least...Zachary ate meat! For those of you who don't know, Zach has been a vegetarian for the past 5-6 years. Last night, for whatever reason, he stopped and ate some ribs! Here's the only picture I could get of him!
Hope you all had a great Monday night too!
