Calvin's Birthday

Calvin turned 8 in May.  I know that I'm a little behind in posting, but that's life I guess.

All Calvin wanted for his birthday was a pair of boots.  He was so excited when he opened them.  He loves wearing his boots, almost every day!  

When I asked him what he wanted for a cake, he decided that he wanted lemon truffles.  He heard me talk about them before and they are fun and easy to make.  Calvin wanted to help make them, so we made a lemon cake,  baked it and then crumbled into the mixer and mixed it up with the frosting.  We rolled them into balls, froze them and then dipped them into white chocolate.  It was a little time consuming, but we had fun!

We love Calvin!  He is very talented!  Loves to play the piano and recently started on the viola (upon his request).  He collects many things and loves to draw!  He is a great son and brother!
