[reason 356] twenty-five

 

Happy 25th birthday, Alex!

I got some nice photos of you this year with your actual face in them. Not a jack o lantern. Not a puppet. Just your handsome face. And perhaps Rachel's face, too.  I may have also edited you into a few photos of your siblings. It's been quite the banner year in that regard, come to think of it. 

I think I got more nice photos of you in your first five years of life than in the rest of the subsequent twenty. But that's ok. It's not like everyone who hasn't seen the above photo before didn't have to go back and really look at it to discover that your face does not appear in it!
