Finn WON a Bike!
It was Grandma's idea to walk to visit Papa just before he finished work so we could all walk together to Canadian Tire...
The story is that I received a phone call yesterday and the lady on the other side asked if she could speak to Finn. Annoyed, (thinking it was a telemarketer), I said in a deadpan voice that Finn was only 2 years old - and she quickly went on to say that he had won a bike at Canadian Tire! Last week, Finn and I had gone through the self-check-out stations twice and he noticed the fancy blue bike hanging from the ceiling and the till-helper-lady suggested we enter the draw - which we did! The odds! And on his birthday, too!
Of course, we missed recording the exclamations, "Bike! Bike! Ride it? Ride it??"! It came with a helmet (for a 5 year old), knee pads, and a little horn. He may fit the bike in 2 years? :)

Finn's Birthday Morning
Well what a special day. Made special because Aunt Leina, Uncle Joe, Grandma and Grandpa drove up from Medicine Hat to spend the weekend with us. We first enjoyed a waffle brunch feast (but not before Finn opened his first present of red sandals from Grandpa and Grandma) and then enjoyed the morning outside after Finn opened some sandbox toys that were immediately put to use!

Stump!
The "Daisy - drop your guns!" is a quote from one of his books about a clumsy cowboy who saves the day (without violence :)

Jackpot!
Finn visited his Great-Grandparents this weekend and we were surprised to find that his Great-Aunt Laura and Uncle Jamie had left a box for him... full of Jamie's vintage toys from when he was a kid. See for yourself how Finn responded!
This is the kind of stuff we search for every weekend at garage sales and here it arrived en masse - and much more special because it's from someone we know! We wrote Jamie's name or initials on the bottom of all the cars.
Finn would wake up in the morning or from his nap asking for them! I don't think anything we have for him for his birthday this Friday will hold a candle to this... :)
Still going strong on day two:
Thanks so much, Jamie and Laura.
