October is a prime birthday month in our family. Tuesday it was my cousin Gabie’s 18, yesterday was my brother’s and tomorrow it’s B’s.

Last night we had a little family party for the boys complete with cake, jelly and icecream and bowls of sweets and chocolates. A faux Pizza Hut Icecream Factory if you will. I made B’s birthday cake in my lunch break and decorated it with white melted chocolate dyed green. The scene depicts Manchester Utd thrashing Chelsea and B was suitably impressed with my cake making/decorating skills! Next up, a weekend packed with birthday-related activities. Fun times are a-coming.

So, to my little/tall brother. We love you lots and are very glad you had a super day and liked your present. The last few months have been tough for you, but you’ve dealt with it all rather beautifully. We know that the good things peeking through the clouds right now will only get brighter over the coming months if you want them to. You’re an awesome papa and a pretty cool bro, even when you mock my shortness and give me scary fireman lifts when I don’t expect them. Happy Birthday Charlie xx
