Christopher's birthday

Christopher turned three yesterday. I can't believe it's already been three years since he was born. Time has flown, and I love being his mommy. He's a great kid, with a lot of energy. He's very social, and loving. Sometimes, without prompting, he will come up to me and say, "You're the best mommy in the whooole world. I love you". It just makes my heart melt. I love him! We had a party for him on Saturday, and invited his friends. He had a blast playing in the water outside, and having a picnic with his friends. He loved his presents, and it seems like he felt very special. We gave him our presents, and the ones from his Ouma and Oupa yesterday. A tradition in my family is that you get to pick the dinner you want for your birthday, and he choose lasagna. So we had lasagna and leftover salad from the party (there were a lot of leftovers!). And, of course, birthday cupcakes and ice cream. I have to say that the icing was the best I've ever made. I creamed the butter first, before adding the icing sugar, which made a big difference. We've had a fun couple of days, for sure!
