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)

  1. 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!
