Happy birthday to him…

I didn't know your boy was a November birthday. Mine's Friday the 21st.

Don't think I didnt ball my eyes out a few times making that….

Yes….I do remember Jeff!

November is a busy month for me for birthdays.

Sprung is the 3rd
Nephew Peter is 14th
Andrew is the 19th
Gail is the 20th
Nephew Jay is the 23rd
Gails twins is the 28th
Mrs. David is the 29th
My late grandmother is also the 29th

Sheesh…..I am too old to remember all this.

Dude even *I* got teary watching it.

Happy birthday Andrew - you gave your parents a good excuse to get drunk tonight.  *g*

Happy Birthday, Andrew!  Wow, that was an amazing slide show.

Congrats, Davers! :)

That was awesome David!!

Happy 21st Andrew!!!!

It was fun…we drove to Madison, took him shopping for a new winter coat and a few things and then to dinner with his gf Alexandra.

Decided to drive the 2 hours home instead of spending the night. Just got the vibe that it would be better to steer clear of the celebration that was mounting with a gaggle of 21 year olds.

LOL

wow.. now I know why you were crying!!!  what a great slideshow… and no embarassing photos.. lol

I can't believe he's 21… time just flies…

my Andrew turns 21 in June… but.. he won't be here for his birthday.. he will be in Argentina…  so.. I am thinking.. I just may have to borrow your idea hun.. and make a slideshow for him to see while he is away!!!!

glad you guys had a great time.. and good move on driving home.. I wouldn't want to be there either.. lol

That slide show was so sweet David!

So here are two pictures.

First legal beer with the parents.

And nothing like a little cake with your yummy beer!

Nice heffeweizen!  Is it a Blue Moon?

Gotta love chocolate cake!

Crop Circle Wheat
Made with over 60% wheat malt and imported German yeast and hops, Crop Circle Wheat is a true German wheat beer. This refreshing and somewhat spicy brew is served in the traditional manner - unfiltered and accompanied by a slice of lemon.

I had to look up Heffeweizen:

Weissbier
Main article: Weissbier
Weissbier (or Weißbier), as it is called in German, refers to several different types of wheat beer. The term Hefeweizen refers to wheat beer in its traditional, unfiltered form. The term Kristallweizen (crystal wheat), or Kristall Weißbier (crystal wheat beer), refers to a wheat beer that is filtered to remove the yeast from suspension. Additionally, the filtration process removes wheat proteins present in the beer which contribute to its cloudy appearance.

Weissbier is available in a number of other stronger forms including; Dunkelweizen (dark wheat), and Weizenstarkbier (strong wheat beer), commonly referred to as Weizenbock. The dark wheat varieties typically have a much higher alcohol content than their lighter cousins.

Alternate terms for Hefeweizen include: Hefeweißbier, Weißbier, Hefeweiße, Dunkelweizen, Weizenbock, or Weizenstarkbier. A Weizenbock is not necessarily considered a Hefeweizen unless it is left unfiltered.

The Hefeweizen style is particularly noted for its low hop bitterness (about 15 IBUs) and relatively high carbonation (approaching four volumes), considered important to balance the beer's relatively malty sweetness.

Another balancing flavour note unique to Hefeweizen beer is its phenolic character; its signature phenol is 4-vinyl guaiacol, a metabolite of ferulic acid, the result of fermentation by ale yeast appropriate for the style. Hefeweizen's phenolic character has been described as "clove" and "medicinal" ("Band-aid") but also smoky. Other more typical but less assertive ale flavour notes include "banana" (amyl acetate), "cloves", "bubble gum", and sometimes "vanilla" (vanillin).

So yes, it's a heffeweizen. And I'm fucking cool for being able to tell that by a picture.  Booyah.
