Happy Birthday Aunt Sue!

We tried to be cool like you, Sue. We tried to show you how much we miss you and love you by having our kids do something cute and special for you, here is what is left of that attempt:





This is the documentation of our attempt to get the kids to hold these signs:
Coop wanted to run, not sit.


Then he wanted to crumble and eat the paper, not hold them up for his picture to be taken.



We tried to get Bailey to say 'happy birthday' on tape but all we got was "Red, Bye Daddy".

So then we went on to different measures, that were equally as futile.


So then we tried the old 'how quick can you hand them an object and snap their picture' routine.


Not fast enough.


So we tried a little backdrop pose. Do you like our backdrop? Aunt Sue made it for us several years ago for Christmas.





So we couldn't get the message across exactly as we had it planned but it is still the same,


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE! WE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WISH WE COULD SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH YOU! WE LOVE YOU!

You guys are the BEST! I'm touched by your devotion (because that looks like it took a really long time). Thanks!!
