There is now a seven year old in the house. I can’t believe it! Seven years ago yesterday, Colin was born…
Colin is sensitive, loving, empathetic and is always the first to give something up to make another happy.
He is easy going, has a great sense of humour and is always wanting to make people laugh…
There are really not enough words to describe him, he is just an amazing kid.
This year, his birthday coincided with the big Not-Going-Back-to-School picnic in Montreal… he was so excited that not only be 7 but he would be hanging out with all of his friends and making new ones… (the turnout was about 250 people this year!)
In the morning we headed out for breakfast per his choice at a local breakfast restaurant and then headed to Montreal for the picnic…
We spent the day there… from 11am to 7pm the kids ran and played and just came to touch base once in a while but not for long… He didn’t mind at all that the cake and “birthday” was going to be the next day…
His birthday cake request this year was a bit more complicated then previous cakes I have made…
He wanted a vanilla cake with chocolate icing but he didn’t stop there… he wanted another smaller cake on top of that with strawberry icing. It turned out so much better then even I had expected…
I’ll be adding the recipe in the next post…
He put his Lego set together, played with his brothers and sister, made poutine, played a few party games and then had cake..
(he is very proud to have built it himself, with a bit of help from Simon)
It is amazing how much of a party you can have with a family of six, even with no invited guests…
It was a great day, for a great kid!
Happy Birthday Colin!!
