“Happy BIRTHDAY – Christine”
When it is “BIRTHDAY TIME” – let us all start to sing… “HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE” – – and it sure looks like we are all in the mood… hands and arms are all moving to keep in TIME – – – with our mouths doing… the best part – – just SINGING!
The “BIRTHDAY GIRL” is little “Christine Aldrich” – – and her DADDY, TOM – – is standing just behind her – – with his arms moving – – to keep up the tempo – – that is what a good music conductor does… and standing next to brother, TOM – – is Uncle Al – – with his imaginary guitar – – music just a flying through the air – – and that is “Grandma, Mary Ellen – – just adding lots of volume to the “BIRTHDAY” song – – just like a GRANDMA should do!
Looks like another “BIRTHDAY” for little CHRISTINE – – and there seem to be 4 (four) candles on that spectacular good looking cake!
One of my favorite times… is to be invited to “BIRTHDAY PARTIES” – – that is where I get to sing – – and really “BELT OUT” those words – – loud and clear – – just so we all get in the mood – – for the best part of any “PARTY” – – and to me… the best part of the “PARTY” is when they sing out those terrific words – “CAKE and ICE CREAM” – – is now being served!
“Just LOVE – – those sweet words!”

“Tom’s Daughter, Chris’s – 5th BIRTHDAY”
We are celebrating little Chris’s 5th BIRTHDAY…the candles are burning…but…MOM has to get enough “PHOTOS” – – before CHRIS gets the big “OKAY” to start blowing!
Looks like we are singing…and singing…enough times that CHRIS is getting a kick out of how… Uncle Al is singing…with a few words and notes…especially added – – just so that we all get into… the BIRTHDAY PARTY rhythm… as we have to have some HAPPY and FUNNY stuff going on- – because a BIRTHDAY PARTY always needs FUN and GAMES – – and that is WHY you invite GRANDMAS and FAMILIES !
Tom has said that he always remembered all the parties that we had when we lived in Florida…as each of the boys’ had a big party with their friends and lots of games…so that each of the invited friends would go home with something special in addition to the FUN that they enjoyed..as we were always interested in making memories that will last forever.
Just thinking back to those days…some of my boys …would always let me know a couple of weeks before their BIRTHDAY…that he would have a few friends…that wanted to know…that they were “for sure” to be invited??? I’m guessing that the reason was …that my husband Lee and I were always involved in the School and Scout activities …and with having the restaurants – – because some of the things we did …included lots of good food!
Looks like CHRIS has a beautiful CAKE…and I know there will be ICE CREAM…as everyone knows …be sure you have ICE CREAM…just for me…and you will have made my day!
“Happy BIRTHDAY…CHRIS!”
