Birthday

For my birthday,

we had buffalo chicken and pizza and played Uno.

My wife got me a fun, personalized card and

an awesome, retro speaker for my iPod. Love it!

My daughter wrote me a very sweet, heartfelt letter,

which I love, but won't be sharing here.

My oldest son and daughter-in-law stopped for a visit
and gave me a new game - Farkel Party.

My youngest son made me this video for my birthday:

How cool is that?

I am a lucky guy.
