Happy Birthday Amy, Grandpa, and Hannah!

Tonight we celebrated Amy and Hannah's birthdays, and we are sorry that Grandpa Green could not be with us for his birthday too! We hope that you have a speedy recovery. We missed your wit and charm tonight and look forward to having you and grandma to dinner again soon. No one tells a story like grandpa. You are so full of love and are so interested in people that you always make it a party wherever you go.

Hannah is such a fun cousin for our kids, especially our girls. You are so sweet and lovely. We love your excitement for live and particularly for all thing princessey and pink. Is it really possible that you are already five years old!?

Amy thank you for the wonderful sister, aunt and friend you are. We love you! We love your enthusiasm for life and for books... we gathered in the living room after dinner tonight to read childrens' books for our 4th annual rating of juvenile literature. Your happiness is contagious.

I also love outings with aunt Amy because she has a way to make the kids excited about everything. Not only things are fun with her but she never misses a chance to teach her children, nieces, nephews and her sister in law. How many times had I come back from an outing with Amy with a new perspective on parenting! Your positive influence on my rearing my children is powerful.

I am grateful to Amy for the many times she has helped me. Once I have returned home from work to find that Amy had stopped by with her children to pick up and clean the childrens' playroom. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you for your love in action.

We feel bad that in our eagerness to read books we did not play the traditional birthday game with Amy and Hannah, so here is the deal. You all need to leave a comment below and say one thing that you like about Amy, one thing you like about Grandpa, and one thing that you like about Hannah. We love you all and feel so lucky to be related to you!
