Happy birthday, Daddy!  Thank you for all the things you do for us, even the things we don't know about, but you do anyway because you love us so much.  There are so many more ways we can say thank you and so many more things that we can thank you for.  Mostly, we are thankful God gave you to us to be our daddy!  You are our favorite!  We love you to the moon and back!
