Crabby Birthday to You

For reasons unbeknownst to anyone but herself, the birthday girl is in a FOUL mood today. She woke up crabby, napped crabby, rallied a bit for Wiggleworms and lunch with Connor and Heather, then completely melted down at the end of lunch. The jury is still out on the rest of the day, but hopefully it will improve.

In the meantime, let's hearken back to a happier birthday celebration, which occurred on Saturday. She was a bit crabby then too, but at least we knew why - our downstairs neighbor had all his windows replaced and the majority of the banging took place during morning nap, significantly curtailing said nap. Ah well. She rallied. Several times.

Here is the birthday princess in her dress from Disney World.


This is cake #1, i.e. the grownup cake.


This is cake #2, also known as the Smash Cake. Exactly what it sounds like.


At first she wasn't quite sure what to do...
...then quickly discovered the butter cream and chocolaty goodness that was hers for the taking!

The end result:
Many presents were brought by people who refuse to follow directions (except Rich, who does what he is told). She didn't quite understand the concept of unwrapping them, but thought the paper itself was quite delightful!
Overall, she had a great time, as did we. So let's forget today's crabbiness and all smile with the birthday girl in a picture that should be everyone's new wallpaper.
