Commemorating "Firsts"

Happy Birthday to my first Son-by-Marriage!

Your name is written on Emmalyn's heart, permanent ink!

First couple dance to first in-laws. My in-laws call each year and sing "Happy Birthday" on the phone, this last year I was at work and put them on speaker phone. We thought about doing that to you, but couldn't figure out which version of the song you would like the most and then how to do it without waking you up at 4 am your time. Maybe we will start that first tradition next year?

Happy Birthday-dirge style? En espanol? With our 2nd verse? 'Tis love brought you into our family!

While it would have been loverly to hear your singing. We both laughed and are glad you did not call that early. :)

Love you lots. Have blog pics I will blog tomorrow about our celebration here.

There will be lots of birthdays in the future to figure out new traditions.

I was sleepy and distracted and also didn't want to wake you up late with birthday calls on your birthdays either!

What a great post! We thought about Dean on his birthday, too.

Any chance you have some more of those red hearts? We have some more girls to add... :)
