Happy Birthday Drake!

Drake is 17! And boy does he feel old. He says that "17 is so much older than 16" and he feels much more mature.

He had quite the haul of loot from his family and was quite excited about the presents.

Drake has been asking for a Corvette Stingray since last year. He was really hoping for one for Christmas, and when that didn't happen he shifted gears and was asking for one for his birthday. He was so excited when he finally got his hearts desire -- his very own Corvette (key chain). Well, maybe next time he will be a little more specific.




As for the rest of his presents......... A Pirates mug for his morning grog (hot chocolate) to get him going every morning -- fresh from the West Indies


Ok, so maybe he wasn't exactly excited about new dress shoes! He did say his old ones were getting a little old.


But the highlight (other than the Corvette) was having some of his friends over for a party. In all, about a dozen of his friends came over and they made lots of noise and ate lots of food. We were a little afraid the police might show up from all the noise, but what can you expect from a bunch of 17 year olds with access to a big stereo and a drum set?!

We hope Drake had a fantastic Birthday and we always enjoy having him and his friends over to visit.
