Happy Birthday Opa!

It's that time of the year again -- Opa's birthday.

Since the kids LOVE the video camera, we decided to tape another Happy Birthday message... except that we couldn't settle on just ONE video to share, so I uploaded all four.

Our "practice run": 

 

The real deal, with Son doing the count-down (a new skill he has recently acquired and is quite proud of -- we're still perfecting it...):

Daughter is a chatterbox around the house, but whenever the camera comes out (or she goes to visit friends, or goes to the store, or Son's preschool, or just about anywhere else that it's not just Mom and Dad and Son) she gets incredibly quiet and shy. Someday I will capture videographic evidence of her advanced verbal skills.  For now it's mostly hair tosses and cute eyes:

And finally, the birthday message:

What's 40 years, right? ;)

Happy birthday, Dad!
