birthday buddies

this sunday we celebrated allison and jd's birthdays! allison's was the 12th and jd's is the 27th, hence the birthday buddies! we had a great easter dinner and 2 cakes! i made jd this orange cake and it's so good! allison chose angel food cake with chocolate mousse and strawberries! i just couldn't help myself, i had to try both! i managed to disgust myself with how much sugar i ate! wow! jd ended up getting lots of games from my family for his birthday! we played buzz word last night and i highly recommend it! it was way fun! we all had to do a little treasure hunt to find out easter treats...we all got movie gift cards. we hid easter eggs out in the front yard for my nephew lincoln and he was such a crack up! we were all laughing so hard! my mom filled his eggs with coins and goldfish crackers and he loved it. once he shook the egg and found out there was money in there he was done! he didn't want to look for anymore eggs, he only wanted to put the money in his piggy bank!

i decided to post the recipe if anyone wants to try this cake. it's really easy, but sometimes a little tricky to get out of the pan.

1 yellow cake mix

1/2 c oil

1 1/2 cups apricot nectar
