The Ducklings 4th Birthday fell on a Thursday, so we began our birthday bash that evening with a lovely dinner (and cake) with Opa and Nana, as well as Grammy and Grampy who flew down from New Brunswick to join in the festivities. Colin and Evelyn wore the birthday hats they made in school... Keith's went missing somewhere along the way.

Malcolm never needs a reason to party, but this one did happen to include homemade pizza and chocolate cake
Keith, sans chapeau
Evelyn thought it was "the best cake ever". Thank you, Daddy!
The anticipation... I can't manage to sing and videotape at the same time, which is likely better for us all.
On Friday, The Ducklings went to the Carp Fair with Grammy, Grampy and Daddy and had a blast. There were even a few rides....
On Saturday, they thoroughly enjoyed their birthday party! Thanks to everyone who dropped by, especially Aunt Deborah (and Liam and Siobhan) for coming up with the brilliant "decorate your own party hat" craft, and for facilitating it. I guess old habits die hard! And Aunt Jane, for helping to keep a lid on the chaos. It was wonderful to see so many of our friends and family.

And after several rounds of hot dogs, hamburgers, cake and pies in various forms, chips and fries over several days (this is a given with 3 day long birthday binges!), we're moving on to Monday morning: back to school, work and sensible eating... once we make our way through the leftovers, of course.
Everyone had so much fun! We missed Aunt Benny and Uncle Sepp, but we look forward to celebrating with them next year.
