A birthday post!

Does everyone know what today is?  Oh yes, it’s GJ’s BIRTHDAY!!!!  Happy Birthday GJ (or DD as Maxwell has been calling her lately)!  No Aspen this year, but with all the traveling from FL to AL to AR you’ve been doing, something tells me you’re happy to just be at home today!

You’ve been carrying the weight of the world (well, at least the weight of most of our family!) on your shoulders and we want you to know how much we appreciate all that you do (really, really appreciate it!) and how much we LOVE you!  I simply don’t know what we would do without you.

As a little reminder of your birthday wishes in the past, check out 2010 and 2011.  For this year, Maxwell once again wanted to send you some happy birthday wishes…

 Hmmm, I can’t wait to give GJ a big hug for her birthday!

Unfortunately you don’t get to see her in person today, buddy.

Whaaaat?  That’s not a nice thing to say Momma.

I know buddy.  I wish we could see her too.  But, we’ll see her in just about 5 weeks when your baby brother is born.  Until then, let’s show her the great birthday sign.

Fine.  Here you go.

Oh, come on bud.  Let’s show GJ how much we love her and how excited we are that it’s her birthday!

Alright, Momma.  You’re right…how’s this?

Much better!  Now, how about a big smile?

You got it!  Cheese!

Oh boy, GJ’s gonna love that!  Can you give me an even bigger smile?

Anything for GJ!  Cheeeeeeeeeese!

Now that’s a big smile!  Ok, how about a cheer for her birthday?

Hip Hip Hooray!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Hooray for GJ indeed!!  Happy Birthday, GJ!  Hope it’s a GREAT day!

We love you!
