From Bean to Sprout

Today is Chris’ 33rd birthday! (For some reason when I typed this, I pictured Bilbo Baggins when he says “today is my eleventy first birthday!”, yep, total nerd!)

We had a weekend of celebrations where Chris got spoiled and then spoiled some more. Today he’s taking Henry to music class. I told him that if he tells Nicole that it’s his birthday, she may sing Happy Birthday to him but I think he’s too shy to say anything (Ps: Chris has a huge musical crush on Henry’s music teacher).

I thought it might be fun to put a few pics of Chris over the years like I do for Henry’s monthly anniversaries (it’s kind of a picture dump but once I started going down memory lane with these picture folders, it was hard to just choose a few). I don’t have any on the computer that go back 9 years but I have a few from over time that I can put in here. So here’s to my hubby, my best friend, great daddy,  spider catcher, high objects getter, snarky commentator, Christmas light putter upper, constantly laid back charmer!

The blue hair first got my attention during a summer class at Carleton. This is Chris after cutting down our first Christmas tree.
