A Fitting Party




I love the fan fare, all the glitter and extras.  Not everyone feels the same.  A birthday without the horns and whistles may go against my natural inclination but it feels just right for some and when its your birthday you get to choose.  For Elias' birthday I think we came up with a perfect way to celebrate, to honour another year and all the wonder that goes with it.
A few friends were invited for an outdoor party, which makes sense for my outdoor guy.  We met at the provincial park where we went tubing.  We had a campfire for roasting dogs, hot chocolate and cupcakes with 'snow' icing made by the birthday boy himself.  There was just the right balance of celebration, sparkle while remaining low key.
