    Wow the big 5 0
    That is going to be many many candle to blow..hahaha
    Definitely don't look near 50 at all
    If you hadn't spilled the beans I'd have hit around your twins age when I gave a call
    Even without your slobber blowing out the candles on the cake
    You know with food I wouldn't partake..haha
    Happy Birthday!

  24. Betsy BrockSeptember 20, 2011 at 9:55 PM

    Pat ~ I saved a plate of chicken nuggets just for you
    Even have a candle in them too.
    Don't worry, at 50 we still have air to blow
    Don't need spit and slobber to make the flames go.
