happy birthdays, baba and gpa

My parents recently celebrated their birthdays (ok, my mom's was a month ago, so sue me) and Hazel sent them these lovely pictures.

My mom is a Scrabble fanatic, and I have decided that Hazel is going to call her 'Baba'. I am sure this revelation will be to her dismay, however, since this was a much despised nickname her uncle had for her. The last time they were here, we had some gooood laughs over it, and I am hoping the name will stick.

My dad is a Hazel fanatic, so I decided to send him a picture of his darling granddaughter. I am so thoughtful.

Happy Birthday, folks. We sure miss you!!!
