On a scale from 1 to 10 ... my love for {birthdays} and everything that comes with them is a 10++.
I love that it's a day to celebrate life.
I truly enjoy being a part of another person's {special} day.
And someday... I WILL know as many versions of {Happy Birthday} as my mother!!
It's not about the party, or the gifts, or the fancy desserts - it's about being together, celebrating, laughing, living, and truly letting people know that their life is meaningful, important and special.
We celebrated Miguel's youngest son's 1st birthday this weekend. There was delicious carne asada, beans, rice, soda, {HOT} salsa, cake & JOY. Nothing fancy, no theme, no special invitation ... it was just us {Columbia River Straw & crew} ... celebrating life with each other!
As "Little Fernando" (his uncle is Big Fernando) sat wide-eyed in his mother's lap, watching all of us sing and clap for him I couldn't help but smile. Life for this sweet little boy is {good}.
Abraham Lincoln said it best ...

Feliz Cumpleanos little buddy - we love you!

Looks like you all had a grand time -- that's what a birthday party really should look like.

And I LOVED coming out to your house for the first time. I can't believe i'd never been out there! Glad we could get rid of some of those baby clothes for ya! :o)

Really curious now...how many versions of Happy Birthday does your mother know? How many do you know right now...? Hmmm...me, I think I can hum the English version ok...but I am NOT much of a singer...so I avoid any singing if possible.
How fun!!!
He is adorable!!!
