ANOTHER BLUE BIRTHDAY
Last month was our daughter's birthday and I did a Blue Monday post featuring her and the blue elephant cake I made for her birthday when she was a little girl. Click HERE if you missed it or if you would like to see it. Today (I'm posting this on Sunday evening) is our son's birthday and I decided to share his blue elephant cake this week. After I made the elephant cake for Carol, Allen wanted one for his birthday every year for many years after that. These pictures were taken a long time ago because he is 47 years old now. Doesn't seem possible. Those years sure flew by.
He also had a blue shirt and was wearing a blue shirt in an earlier birthday. Here's a picture of that birthday (pre-elephant cake birthday). LOL Also, there was some blue in the wallpaper in the above picture.
Here's a more recent picture of him at his favorite restaurant, Taco Bell, still wearing a blue shirt.

My Allen is soon to be 45. Funny how we both had one daughter and then one son named Allen. I remember that our anniversary is only days apart too. Your Allen is a handsome guy. Happy Blue Monday, Charlotte.

OK, I'm a bit behind ... but want to join in Allen's "Happy Birthday" chorus. I can't get over the resemblance 'tween Allen and Carol! Just think, had he arrived a bit early, he could've been your daughter's birthday present.
ReplyDeleteYou n' Clif are so blessed! Thanks for sharing these heartwarming pix!
