| My nephew Christian and his mommy with his cool birthday cake! |
My youngest nephew, Christian, just turned 12 yesterday. That's a big deal birthday. I asked him if he felt any older.
"No!" he protested. "I'm young! I want to be young!" I told him he didn't have to worry about that for quite a while yet.
Still, it seems like only yesterday he looked like this:

That's how he looked when he last came to visit me. Now he's taller than his mom. (Which isn't a difficult achievement, now that I think about it.)

I see Mom made her classic Castle Birthday Cake to celebrate. Hooray for Mom. She has made a fair share of those cakes through the years! You will note it is topped with both the Norwegian red-white-and-blue flag, as well as a blue-and-yellow Swedish flag, as is appropriate for their family.
Happy Birthday, Christian! Thanks for always making me laugh. You're a terrific kid.
