Happy Birthday to Mom

The kids surprised me on my birthday with a special song. While Lin and I were out for the morning, Nathan taught Lizzy and Caleb how to play Happy Birthday to You on their instruments. This was no small task since they are both beginners and it involved some skills they hadn't learned yet. Nate figured out a way of writing it out with string letters and finger numbers. Then rehearsed it with them. When Seth was feeling left out, they added him in as the singer. He took his part very seriously and practiced with them. All of this was accomplished in about an hour. It was the cutest rendition of Happy Birthday ever.
