birthdays

At Education Week today I attended a class by Michael Ballam. He sang songs from many Broadway musicals including Annie, West Side Story, South Pacific, and Cats. In addition, he sang two of my all time favorites: The Impossible Dream from The Man of La Mancha and Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. He was incredible!

He announced that it is his 58th birthday today. It is also President Monson's birthday today. I find it a little ironic and a little humorous that President Monson and "Satan" share the same birthday (some of you will know what I'm referring to).

Alec absolutely loves birthdays so it is our family tradition to celebrate many birthdays throughout the year. We celebrate Mickey Mouse's and Dr. Seuss' and so on. Tonight we had birthday cake and sang happy birthday to Pres. Monson. We left "Satan" out of the celebration!
