I thought getting out of bed was a bit more difficult this morning, not sure because I'm a year older today and old age is creeping in. :) This photo was taken about 1974 which looks like my 6th birthday.
Alex, think that your dear late Mom has said to you: "Please say 'Cheese' in order to get a 'sunshine' picture before blowing out the candles." Fond memories.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Looks to me like you got a big chunk out of that cake before the candles were even blown out! Hungry kid!!! Ah, yes, I do remember the coloring in those early 70's Instamatic camera prints. I was getting out of the Navy about then and many of my service photos look like this, too. Well, Happy Birthday, Alex, keep on keepin' on.
