Things I Love Thursdays makes it’s triumphant return with a very special edition. Today is my Mom’s birthday! YAY! Now I know what you are thinking, everyone loves there Mom! Very true…..but not everyone has a Mom as special as mine. One who is willing to go above and beyond on every occasion no matter what the task.
I love you very much Mom. I hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo
So I am terribly behind on my blogging so here is another catch up to get us (a bit) closer to the present. Last month was birthdaylicious! First was Weston’s 36th. We went for dinner at Red Door (always a fan favourite) followed by drinks at the Cambie. I had actually never been to the Cambie before (shocking I know) and quite enjoyed myself. Though not nearly as much as Weston :)
Last months second birthday also marked the end of a decade long curse. Sarah aka Crawfy celebrated her birthday without a hitch. Something normal for most but a miracle for Crawfy. We had a beautiful brunch at the Pan Pacific (I wish I was there now) followed by drinks and games in Coco.
The Grand Final was also last month and was the first for are Canadian friends. Saints vs Geelong was a great game and fully converted those who were still undecided on footy. Can’t wait for next season!!
Last weekend we celebrated Wyatt’s first birthday. I can’t believe that it has been a year already! It really doesn’t feel all that long ago that we found out that D & D were expecting! The party was small, intimate and laid back. Family, friends and the birthday boy – what could be better?!
My favourite part of the day was the cake. They had this lovely blue and white carrot cake from cupcakes which they placed on some brown paper on the floor and lit a sparkler. All pretty normal right? Wrong. The fun part is that this cake was pretty much just a cutting cake – their were cupcakes for the guests. Wyatt was placed in front of the cake and was let at it. I loved this concept. I mean how many birthdays for small children do you attend where the cake cutting is over in three seconds as they do a quick blowout of the candles and then whisk the cake away before the birthday boy or girl can get their hands on it.
At Wyatt’s party not only was he able to really enjoy his cake but it made for amazing photos. This is something I will for sure carry on as a tradition when I have children.
Below is a diptych that I created from a photo from D & D’s shower and another from the party. The difference a year makes.
