Ode to Aaron

Happy Birthday Aaron Shong! I'm not sure how our family got so lucky, but Aaron truly fits in so well with us and is one of the nicest,most relaxed and flexible people I know! He's been around for a long time now, and I am so thankful for that! I was looking through pictures to post and found some really old ones I scanned and he was in them! Julie and Aaron were married almost 9 years ago and it's been so much fun to have a brother in law like Aaron. He really has all of us wrapped around his finger,we love him to death.

Aaron's been on a lot of our Billen Family vacations here's a few shots of us over the years enjoying being together!



Here we are in Yosemite, I think circa 1998. The first vacation Aaron joined us on!

Here we are in Central Park in New York - I think this was in like 2003

Here we are in San Diego, we would later go down to Mexico it was a great vacation - 2002?

Our family in front of the Capitol!

I had to include this picture of us pretending to nap in the Smithsonian, we were all exhausted from the trip. So many good memories!

A few more recent shots - like this one of Aaron and Adam and the cousins Noah and Marshall at Rhett and Monica's wedding.

Aaron works so hard, so I hope today is a relaxing day filled with the people you love!
