Happy 30th Birthday Danny! We love you! We wish we could do more to celebrate your big day. We had fun going to dinner with you last night and hoped you liked your breakfast this morning (let me know when you want me to make my better cinnamon rolls so you can take a big pan to work to share with your friends.) We look forward to seeing you blow out ALL of your many candles. Can we bring it up to the school tonight before cheerleading? Or is it better to save it until tomorrow? We also look forward to a big celebration in a month (after your triathlon).
Until then, we want you to know that we did not forget your birthday and we think you’re the best. Here are 30 reasons, in no particular order, why we, Brooke, Victoria, Christian, and Grant , love you so much. See if you can guess who gives each reason.
