Catching up — Birthday Party Edition

Aaah, a birthday party and a holiday in the span of about a week — so many things to blog about but I haven’t found the time! Ooops!

So since pictures are worth a thousand words, here’s a few of The Little Empress’ first birthday party, accompanied by narration from TLE herself!

Hello, I am The Little Empress. Welcome to my birthday party!

Here are some decorations from my birthday party! Mommy made the cupcakes from a mix. She says Funfetti is yummy no matter what cupcake snob purists say. I just thought they were pretty because they were YELLOW! I like the color yellow. She also got me balloons and decorated with Hello Kitty streamers because I had a Hello Kitty themed birthday decor scheme. Everything was pink — everything she gets me is always pink. (Even though I like yellow better.)

Here I am with my birthday cakes — a big one and a cupcake. The big one is an ice cream cake (chocolate cake with strawberry ice cream) from Cold Stone. Mommy made the Funfetti cupcakes for anyone who doesn’t eat chocolate cake. (Mommy says I’m too young for chocolate. I think she is trying to keep more for herself.)

By the time we got to cake cutting, it was past my naptime and I was cranky. So I started screaming! Do you know how scary it is to have a bunch of people you don’t know gathered around you, singing?? It is creepy, I tell you! I was so busy crying that Mommy had to help me blow out the candle.

After the candle was out, Mommy took the candle and unwrapped the cupcake for me. I was impatient while she was unwrapping it. After the trauma of that round of off-key “Happy Birthday”, I just wanted to rip something apart! So I took the cupcake apart piece by piece. It was fun! But I didn’t eat any of it. I just threw it onto the ground. Luckily, Miyuki the dog was there to eat the crumbs! Mommy was amused but I don’t think Lola was very happy with the fact that the dog ate some of my cupcake!
