one more year in your thirties

 It was a great weekend, and so much fun to be with you on your actual birthday, for the whole live-long day.

 Opening gifts in low-slung lawn chairs has its challenges, but so glad it was not raining or horribly hot.  It was a great weekend, actually.

Here are a couple pictures from birthdays past.  Dang, we've known each other a long time.

Today on a boat ride that was pretty much a misery for your sister and her clingy toddlers and unhappy baby, I caught a picture of you and Miss O were all cuddled up.

 Time to open PRESENTS, omg.

 And cake time:

 Wisely putting up protection:

Oh my goodness, happy birthday, Dan.

I love you beyond all credible sense.

We're so lucky having you, all of us are.

This whole family is lucky for you.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.

Love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
