Before we knew it, it was my birthday. Josephine cooked dinner and insisted that it was Mexican night. The kids got me Sponge Bob Square Pants, my favorite! So, it was quite jolly when the candles were lit
the decorations were set (with the traffic light installed!)
and Jane,
Suzanne,
John Byers,
Benjamin,
and Meredith
each sang a different song to the birthday boy as he huffed and puffed
and blew out all of the candles
which is no mean feat at this age.
