A note about the birthday shout-outs:

Ok, here's the deal.  

We thought it was pretty risky to start doing the birthday shout-outs to all you guys, because we don't want any hurt feelings if we miss yours, or for some reason, it's not on our calender on the fridge. This does not mean you're not important to us!! We are gonna try and post as many as we can.  But please don't get your feelings hurt if your birthday is not posted one day, and you've never even commented on this blog.  We have no idea exactly who looks at this blog unless you comment.  

If you are Norwegian, don't feel like you have to comment in English, we love the Norwegian comments!

If you are a "follower" you are automatically in the birthday pile, so no worries there.  

If you comment somewhat, you're also safe.  

IMMEDIATE family, you're good.  

- our bigillion cousins, questionable...

Everyone else, it's a toss up!  

If you're gonna get hurt feelings if your birthday is not posted, get commenting so we know you're lookin at the blog. :) 

If commenting is not your thing, but you still want to insure your birthday is posted, you can "follow" this blog without being a blogger yourself.

If you want to continue reading our blog secretly, that's fine too, but just no tears or disappointment on your birthday... 

If you don't know how to comment, or be a follower, just email one of us and we'll help you learn how to do that. :)

This was not meant to be harsh or bossy, or this long of a post... We just don't want you to be sad on your birthday if your picture is not on here. :)
