Birthdays in O-Town

Happy Birthday to you and you!
Happy Birthday to you and you!
Happy Birthday, dear Angie
and Grandpa Charlie,
Happy Birthday to you both.

Thanks, Annie and Tanner, for hosting the November birthday event at your home in O-Town. Grandpa Charlie turned 84 on November 15 (although he claims he's 48 and dyslexic) and Aunchie is a sweet 62...er, 26...today. In attendance for the festivities were the birthday folk, host and hostess, Charlie, Dad/Paco, me, Uncle Don, and Aunt Janet. Don and Janet are in MN this week to celebrate Thanksgiving with Cousin Mike, who's nearly an official Minnesotan, and also Cousins Dan and Camille, who are winging their way from Buffalo, NY, tomorrow. We'll see everyone again on Friday, here in St. Peter.

Baby G isn't ready to make his/her appearance yet. We're all hoping for the arrival to take place this week, for the comfort of Annie, the pleasure of Tanner, and so we can all say YES when, in the future, someone says, "Uncle Don was there when Baby G was born." Unfortunately, you'd have a hard time proving that Tanner or Annie were at the celebration today. Or me. We stayed out of camera range.
