18!!!

Card made by my sister over on Pike Street.

Master C. has turned 18 today:  Hip Hip Hooray!!!

How did that happen?

This is what you give an eighteen year old:


A Bier Stein (=  beer mug)  from Munich  (he was born there) and a 3 pound bag of Gummibears!  He was very happy...   <wink>

And then, just now, I came across a post on the Flow Magazine website and found this video of The Snowman. When Master C. was about 3 years old we used to watched this. One time, when I had gone to the kitchen to get him something, I found him crying on the couch all alone and so so sad for his snowman... What a magical moment we shared together...

Near Starnberg, Bayern, Germany 1996-'97...
(and as the first tunes of this beautiful story commence, tears well up in my eyes once more)

    An 18th birthday how wonderful. My youngest is 3 and right now I can't imagine him at 18. That's a cute memory to have about the snowman. How precious. :) Have a great day!

    I think Gummibears would be the best birthday present ever! That's just my humble opinion though. I happen to love gummibears and awful lot ;) Happy 18th!

    Wow! An eighteen year old son! It sneaks up doesn't it? Mine are only turning fourteen this year but I'm feeling it.
    Did you have any tricky times at all? He has turned out wonderfully. well done to you both! x
