HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!

I had the silly little idea to ask friends and family to take pictures of themselves holding a sign saying “Happy Birthday Steve!” and then emailing me the pic so I could post it on our blog for Steve's birthday today. Well, the little idea became a big one! I should have known our creative clan would take this challenge and run with it! Happy Birthday honey and enjoy all your birthday wishes!

(Remember to click on the pics to enlarge and get a closer look! Also, if you sent me a pic and it's not posted, it's a complete accident. Last night I started to worry that I may miss someone since there were so many. If you don't see yours, email me asap and I'll make sure it gets up. I think I have them all though.)

Of course our families helped the cause…

Mom & Dad Santos
Joanne & Todd

Ryan, Suzy, Allie & Nala
Mom & Dad Heywood (and Jack Black and Michael Cera)
Joseph
Jennifer
Jacob, Emma & Sophie (I like that the sign is down Jake's pants)
