Happy Birthday Bruce! You and Mike really need to have Thanksgiving together one year. He's always still working on his creation as everyone else is finishing up.
Come visit sometime. We'll go have an eating contest somewhere.
Happy Birthday Bruce!!!!
You have such a great husband. It is so nice to have such a dear friend being taken care of by such a wonderful man.
yes the "hot" comment just cracked me up and made me realize that your girls are no longer the cute little 8 year olds that I have them cemented in my mind as! Now they are even cuter and maybe a bit sassier? Haha. I love this. I got to know my uncle bruce better. Happy Birthday!
Ben enjoys his Thanksgiving dinner too. And he eats it very maticulously, savoring each bite. But maybe he is just re-buttering his potatoes when everyone is finished. Fun post! Can't wait to see you guys in June. Add one to Bruce's list for me... He always greets us with a smile and a big hug whenever we see you guys. (Something that not all men do).
I forget that Bruce and Shawn share the same birthday! Happy Birthday Bruce! I hope your day was memorable.
Happy Birthday Bruce,
It's so amazing to read all their comments because it makes you realize how important the little things we do are to our children. I hope you had a wonderful day. Can't wait to see all of you in June. I need to talk to you about what we need to prepare for.
Have another grrreat day!
Happy b-lated birthday.
Bruce, You are an awsome Dad, Husband and more than a Son in law more like a Son. We Love you.
