Jacob and Claire turn 15

These 2 amazing kids turned 15!

Both Jacob and Claire are kind, hard working, and successful students. This year, they are both class and quorum presidents. 

They had a fun backyard party. We set up a camp fire for hot dogs and s'mores 

 

The girls immediately gathered around the fire

As the boys played basketball

and football as we waited for the sun to go down to get dark enough for a movie.

Jared had fun popping popcorn and setting up the backyard theater.

Everyone started congregating around the fire again as it got darker.

Eventually, it got dark enough and the kids all gathered and giggled for watching Napoleon Dynamite. Such a funny choice - I don't know if they get all the humor!

It was a good group of kids to have over!

For the family party, Jacob and Claire gave Jared creative liberty over the entire menu, so he, of course, went southern with a brisket in the sous vide!

and baked beans, creamed corn, and bread and salad. Very southern - Jared (and the birthday kids) were very happy with it.

We celebrated that night with some cake at Nana's
