Ragged chorus of voices, only some of which are on key:
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Rebecca
Happy birthday to you!
Kid voices (shouting): Cha cha cha!
Dad (singing): and many more...

Alexis, age 10: I love you!
Andy, age 8: I love you too!
Alexis: Tell Uncle Michael I said hi!
Mom: Mom and Dad send their love too.
Andy: And so does Andy and so does Alexis and so does Jessica!
Alexis: Aunt Rebecca I can't believe it's your birthday! And I don't know how old you are, and I wish you could be here. See you on thankgiving!
Jessica, age 5: I love you, Aunt Rebecca.
Andy: I love you Aunt Rebecca.
Alexis: See you Uncle Michael & Aunt Rebecca.
Andy: Tell Uncle Michael I said hi!
Jessica: See you at Christmas and my birthday!
Alexis (whispering to Jessica): No, no, Thanksgiving.
unintelligible clamor of children
Andy, probably, shouting: Cha cha cha!
Alexis, probably, whispering: Okay, okay now...
pause
Jessica: Bye.
