We waited a couple days after my birthday to celebrate so Mark wouldn't be working and could join in the fun.  As designated photographer you rarely show up in photos.  Thank goodness someone grabs the camera from me once in awhile so I can be a part of the fun family pictures!  My mom grabbed my camera and shot these of me before cutting into my birthday cake...

My parents and my sister, Heidi, came over to celebrate with us.

My kids are such hams in front of a camera.  Scratch that.  They are hams all the time!  They have a silly gene.  Probably got that from their dad...
