Hey there! Oh heavens no, you didn't upset me. I was online for a short time last night but had a lot of studying to get to and so didn't even remember to circle back around to this thread.

You made a good point. I raised the same question with Dave when we started looking at the video on Sunday. He said, "Aw heck, don't worry about that. It won't be fun unless he turns red." Typical guy. Y'all are so much less worried about embarrassing each other than women are, usually. So I called our son that afternoon and told him what we were thinking, and he said "There aren't any diaper-changing shots of me or anything, are there?" I assured him there weren't. And then he said "I'll be fine with it." I just couldn't not run that by him.

Anyway, we're not planning to show the whole birthday video from each year. That'd be boring and potentially embarrassing. My sister, who's producing this, is basically making a sort of birthday documentary about him, and one part of it will be fast cuts from each year of birthday video to show his growth. Essentially still shots from those video chronicles, one after another, that'll pass very quickly. The more potentially embarrassing part is going to be the documentary itself, where she includes video of his friends talking about him over the years, big life events, his grandparents, and us. But he authorized the entire idea back at Christmas, so I trust he'll be OK with it. He's fairly easy-going kid and able to let stuff roll of his back. I'm sure my sister will show him a rough cut before she finishes it so he can veto anything he hates.

And by the way, I happen to love you like a brother, too!
