Yes, you would think that at such an important milestone such as a 40th birthday, I could be more on time with my wife's own posting. So if any of you have felt bad that I have missed birthdays, you can see it is just me and nothing to take personally.
We had a great Christmas and I had a fun day planned for Annie's birthday, but a few things went awry such as weather that didn't cooperate with a bike ride with some friends and shrimp that was forgotten at the grocery store checkout that was meant to top a Swedish sandwich torte which was
to serve as the birthday cake. And then there was the cutting of the birthday night date short after being being informed by the babysitter that one of the kids had lice. My favorite Annie quote of the nights was, "Lice!? we can't have lice! I have pre-conceived notions of people whose kids have lice!" It goes without saying that the humble pie for dessert was not so sweet.
However, I am grateful though that Annie is so sweet, tangy at times, but sweet nonetheless. It is nice to have a best friend who I love at the same time. Here is to at least 60 more birthdays without stress, palpitations, forgotten shrimp, lost bikerides and with lots of fun, excitement, joy and peace.
Cheers, Annie! Hurrah, Hurrah, hurrah, hon lever!

Great birthday cake! You guys are great, but Annie is the best. Happy birthday.
eWe love the house. We love the kids. We love our son. All that said, We love you for being their mom and wife. You are an outstanding person who has blessed our lives as well as those of your immediate family. Sorry so many things went wrong. Maybe you could do like Julia, start a diary of "Things I will laugh at later, but not right now"
Love, Nell and Wes
Happy Birthday, Annie!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like it was memorable! 40 is when the fun begins!
Brooke and I loved the pictures but whoaa...you're old.
Just kidding, here's to forty more years! Happy Birthday. Love Ben, Brooke, Scout, and Boston.
Annie I didn't realize that you were so old! Just kidding, holy cow you all look great! How lucky you are to celebrate the big 4-0 with such a beautiful family and home. We'll have to make the trek down South some day to say Hi. Love - Ali and the gang.
