I Love Birthdays

It is Dereks birthday today. We had a lot of fun. I didn't think I'de even get to see him today because they've been so busy with Harvest. We were able to spend a few hours together and it was fantastic.
Thanks to all our family who responded with the 'love letters'. It turned out great.
Here's a wonderful picture of my family, courtesy of my father-in-law. I wish we had a camera on our side while he was taking the picture to show everyone the faces and noises he was making to get Little Miss E to laugh. It was priceless.

This was at lunchtime. Evelyn likes peaches as much as her dad. Notice the peice of peel on the side of her face. That peice alone made me want to take a picture. I also love how her eyes are twinkling.
We were singing "Happy Birthday" in this picture. Derek was trying to show Evelyn how to blow out candles since she will be doing it soon. I'm pretty sure that she wasn't paying attention to daddy, she liked the presents.
