And the party continues

And the party continues….Today with daddy’s side of the family. In the picture R is wearing her new head-gear (for lack of better term) from us. The one grandma and grandpa brought her from Egypt is slowly falling apart, so we decided to get her a new one to play with as well. She loves it because she loves the swishy-long-bead/hair part.

Anyways. We all went out for supper, then came back to our place for cupcakes. Of course R wanted to open her presents first. She got a great Encyclopedia of animals from Oma and Opa, and a diary with a lock from Auntie V & Uncle B. She desparately wanted a lockable diary. Why you ask? Ok, I asked why. She replied “So J can’t read it”…hahaah! I didn’t bother with the “He-is-only-now-learning-to-walk-so-he-likely-won’t-be-reading-for-a-while” speech…
Anyways. Here is the proof of how much she loves it, the cupcakes were put in front of her, candles lit, and she continues to write in her new diary (with her arm to protect her privacy no less).

I convinced her that maybe she should put the diary down and listen to us sing Happy Birthday. Then she said the sweetest thing, “I want Z (cousin) to blow the candles out with me”. Awww!

Z enjoying her cupcake….

Small boy also enjoyed his cupcake as you can see.
