a birthday message

to the birthday girl:
-Ms. Hallie-

So sorry we couldn't be there due to a last minute mommy mistake of allowing my children to run around with funnels in their mouths while I was loading up...which then allowed Brock to trip and fall and bust open the roof of his mouth and send Joe with him to the emergency clinic.
What a day. I KNOW yours was MUCH better!!
We promise to see you soon! Take an extra helping of that birthday goodness I am sure your mom and dad hooked you up with for Jake, Brock and Holt...yes, that means three extra helpings all for yourself!
