Happy Birthday, Jeff!

We have a lot to blog these days, but our internet connection has not been reliable enough to upload pictures for the last week and a half. But, JEFF'S BIRTHDAY was just here, and we must TRY to get on a couple of pictures, so hopefully it will work. But if not, then just imagine a handsome 31 year old man, with the excitement of a ten year old boy, in Africa, and you will be close to accurate.

Jeff received a package from his mom and dad in time for the big day!

Cinnamon rolls ready and waiting, prepared by Sarah and Jenn.
A great way to start off a Birthday morning, especially when it is followed by a workday.

Cake and candles.

Jeff was glad that we only had 19 candles. :)
The girls were a bit distraught that we didn't have nice wrapping paper this year. But we did have some nice brown paper that we wrapped gifts in.

We sang the song from the Sound of Music:

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on your nose and eyelashes, BROWN PAPER PACKAGES TIED UP WITH STRING, these are a few of my favorite things!!"

They went from disappointed to excited in less than 30 seconds!

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

We love you!
