Nice. Wait a minute, I see five candles. Is that what I think it means???

oh happy, happy birthday theo. i can't believe you are already 5. it can't possibly be. i remember you when you were teeny tiny. next door. when your mum and i became friends. thank you for being born, and for providing your mum and i that opportunity. who knew what started then would become what it is today. i am so thankful.

Happy Birthday Theo!!

I love your cake in the pan technique... I have been known to eat the cake out of the pan with a spoon when all goes wrong myself... :-)

Way to go making him a cake Mom! He doesn't care that it's still in the pan! :)

Yvonne said...

but a picture gone right! Love the closed eyes and serious look, love the striped candles, and love that it is your son's special day. Happy birthday, Theo.

WHAT a classic photo of your big boy and his cake.

It doesn't matter what it looks like - all that matters is how it tastes! Oh Happy Day...

I say EVERYONE GRAB A SPOON & dig in (of course...only AFTER the candles are out). That frosting looks yummy! I'm sure the cake too...but cannot see it. :-)
