We had Grandma and Grandpa out for dinner and to have cake for their birthdays.
Happy Birthday Claudia!
Our baby is a teenager, Claudia turned 13 today. Where have the years gone, her Pirate Party on her 2nd birthday doesn’t seem that long ago.
Congratulations Claudia.
Good (Old Hockey Game) Friday
We headed out to Carolyn and Danny’s for Easter dinner, as has become tradition it involved a game of road hockey. Here’s Brad unsuccessfully trying to go 5-hole on Alex.
There was a tune-up game before dinner and another one that followed dinner, although we were moving a little slower.
Final score was 10-9 for Team Brad, Eric, Uncle Richie against Team Alex, Emi, Claudia, Angela, Uncle Danny.
Also on tap was a celebration of 60 years for Danny, here he is putting on his birthday bling.
Anyone needing drywall work done? Danny now has all the right tools and then some.
Happy Birthday Danny!

We also sang Happy Birthday to Angela.

Thanks to Carolyn and Danny for a great dinner.
Happy Birthday Angela!
Angela had a few of her girlfriends over on Saturday night to hang out.
She had a hard time trying to blow out her three candles, because she was laughing so hard.
Here she is opening a few presents this morning.
Since the penny has been phased out Susan put a nickel in the wallet. That led to Angela remembering when she lost her first tooth and she got 25ยข under her pillow, all excited, only to find out her friends at school were getting $5 under their pillows.
Shaggy Chloe letting out a yawn, she is booked for the groomers on Thursday.
Sisters in their silly hats.
Claudia and I made the cake, but Claudia did all of the icing and decorating.
Some of the ducks are starting to lose parts of their heads to the repeated heat.
Happy Birthday Angela! You’re turning into a fine young lady, you make us proud!
Happy Birthday Gillian!
For the second time in 11 years I was away for Gillian’s birthday. We are now even for missed birthdays, Gillian has missed a couple of my birthdays for school trips and Guides. I was back in Newfoundland this week. There was still cake and photos, just have to get a copy to post.
Happy 1st Birthday Lily!
We headed to Hamilton on Saturday via a stop in Dundas, to visit with Grandma and Poppa and the Sweetness Bakery. Here is Chloe ready to get going. Turns out she was watching her buddy Cooper walking by across the street, that’s why she was looking so intent.

Here she is checking out the snacks.
She was painstaking in her unwrapping, one strip at a time.

Call me maybe.

Happy Birthday G-ma and G-pa!
We had Mom and Dad, Carolyn and Danny and the kids out for dinner for Mom and Dad’s birthday. The plan was to order from our usual Chinese food take-out restaurant. When I went to call, there was a recording that they were closed for the week. Who closes a restaurant during March Break? After some scrambling we ordered some food from another place close-by, their portions weren’t as large, but it was still good. Afterwards it was time for cake. Happy Birthday Dad!
Alex and Claudia.
G-ma and G-pa.
Angela lighting the candles again.
Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Angela!
