Our son is 21 ... his birthday was on Sunday (July 2nd). Our favourite way to celebrate birthdays is with family. The weather has been unsettled and rainy a lot lately, but Sunday was perfect for dining outside.
We gathered around our new patio table for a simple yet yummy birthday dinner: barbecued PC slow-smoked brisket beef burgers (topping choices bacon, cheese, tomato, onion, mustard), two kinds of salad and cake.
The cake was delicious. Unfortunately, we chose carrot cake which is one of our favourites, but not one our son likes ... oops. Once we realized our mistake, we picked up a small chocolate and caramel brownie cake (recommended by his girl friend) as a special treat just for him.
As our son blew out his candles (with help from the wind) and cut the cake, we took photos and sang the birthday song.
Happy Birthday and Cheers for a fabulous year.

I remember going with Warren and Rose to a hospital in Toronto (Women's College?) so we could say hello to Paul. Now I realize we should have dropped off a nutritious meal at the house and folded some laundry!
ReplyDeleteGood guess/memory ... Natalie was Women's College and Paul was Wellesley Hospital (I Googled it). Luckily Mom stayed with me to help with food and laundry for a bit which was much appreciated.
DeleteI remember carrying Paul down to the nursery to be weighed and measured that was quite a day. Then Natalie and I left the hospital and headed for swimming lessons. Oh how the years fly by.
ReplyDeleteAnd Natalie was very excited to tell me a bird pooped on her head/helmet on her way to swim lessons. Yep, the years have flown by.
