Happy Birthday Christmas Baby!

On Christmas Eve, Bob turned 35! His mom has told me in that past that he was a sweet baby who grew into a loving little boy, and a wonderful man. I'd like to think that Aidan is a lot like Bob as a little boy (doesn't he look like him, too?). His mom was told that she wouldn't be able to have children, but after several months of bedrest, "Bobby," as we call him, was born in Bakersfield, CA.

It's hard to celebrate a Christmas Eve birthday, and you'd think that Bob would wish for another date, but he loves having his birthday during Christmas. It's probably because his family always made it special for him. This year, we had lunch at Crackerbarrel (Oklahoma Joe's, Bob's first choice, was PACKED with Christmas shoppers), and my family joined us. It was a fun day! Happy Birthday Bobby!

These photos were loose in Bob's baby book, and they were just too cute not to post...
