Chris' Birthday Celebration

April 3 is a special day -- it is Uncle Chris' Birthday. On April 29, 1998, Uncle Chris was taken from us. For the past 12 years, Chris' birthday has been one of a silent remembrance. But this year was different. Daniel was sitting with Noah on the couch and was telling him that it was Uncle Chris' birthday. Completely innocent, Noah asked if we were going to his birthday party. From that moment, it was settled. Every year, we would do something as a family to celebrate Chris' birthday. We spent the entire day outside playing at the park, taking a hike in the canyons behind our house, and ending it with a party at Chuckie Cheese. Here are a few photos to remember that beautiful day filled with love, happiness, innocence, and family. We love you, Uncle Chris! We miss you!
