Today Erick is 33

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Erick
Happy Birthday to you.

So with Erick far far away, we took advantage of modern technology to throw him a birthday party. We set up the computer for a video conference.

We sang happy birthday, and even lit a candle in a cake, which TJ obligingly blew out for his dad.

We all watched Erick on the computer as he read the birthday cards that the kids had made for him and opened his presents. Here is a shot of my computer screen.

Altogether I'd say the party turned out a success. Happy Birthday Erick!
