Happy Happy Birthday Christian, Dear!

That was then.....


This is now!!!

It just doesn't seem possible that ELEVEN YEARS AGO today this darling boy joined our family... we immediately fell in love with him, and we could have never guessed the amount of smiles and joys he has brought to our faces and hearts! His pleasant nature and enthusiasm for the smallest pleasures continually reminds us that "through small and simple things, great things are brought to pass"! We know Father has great things in store for you, Christian, and we are blessed to be a part of them!

We hope your wishes always come true! Oh, and never forget....


no matter how big you are, you'll never be too big to snuggle with your momma! You'll always be my sweet little guy! Happy Birthday, Bucky! We love you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and....

I just want a chance to quickly say happy birthday as well to "Bucky". It's still the only way I think of you. I know you don't remember it big boy but when you were brand new and grew into a little guy, your Auntie Kim and Uncle Spencer would hang out and just sit and watch you do the silliest things. When we were lucky enough to steal you away from your Mom and Dad we would get to take you places and hear the never ending "He's the cutest baby ever!" (We always agreed!) Ahhh the days. I love you from so far away and hope you had a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Christian! What a handsome kid you are. I just LOVE the last picture. Nothing like a great picture of mother and son.

Happy Birthday Christian! All the cousins love you very much! I am so proud of you and can't believe how fantastic you are and how many talents you've already discovered in your first 11 years. Keep smiling and have a TERRIFIC Christian kind of a day.
Love,
Aunt Amber
