Daddy's Birthday Sign

I couldn't find the letters for Daddy's sign in time to take new pictures for his birthday this year.  (I knew where they were in the OLD house!  ha!)  But, I did find them on his actual birthday and since we wouldn't dare let a year go by without new pictures, we took some replacements a couple days later.  Here are the pictures to represent the kids in the year 2013.
First, a select few for Emily. 
One pose with each letter was enough for her!
(I only retake a few letters each year since, in the end, there will only be one picture from each year anyway.)

Everett, since it was just his second year, had more letters to smile with.



Here is when he started to get up and props were introduced.
Yes, I even brought out his lovey.




I know Everett... only a few more!!
REALLY trying hard for a smile here!! and no lovey!!
But, it was such an effort, he needed both binky AND lovey afterwards.
I am sorry, Everett.  I know this is torture and that all you want is a nap.
Just one last good one!
Done!  Phew!
For reference, here are the kids in 2012.

Whoa.

Everett, our kids (including your Mama) used to "enjoy" the many loving pictures Mimi liked to take. All in all, it looked like a Happy Birthday, Paul!

Love,
Papa
