Happy Day!

Ira Gershwin! To that I say strike up the band.

Happy birthday, Collin.

Collin, Happy Birthday!!

Did you have a slice of pie, as I instructed?

I had a slice of cheesecake. Does that count? They're both round...

Happy birthday! I'm right behind you on the 8th...

Happy Belated Birthday!

Well. We are all glad you were born, Collin -- and you are supposed to continue celebrating for a week, so my wishes for good times are still plenty fresh.

Happy belated bday.
