Fluidity...

Party postponed until next weekend...
big brother sick in bed...
Daddy out on a work call...




but we still celebrated with a "girls only" tea party with Aunt Donia and Maia!

It's hard turning four and being told that the party you've been looking forward to for so long isn't happening today after all.  Big brother is down with a nasty virus and keeping the party on schedule just wasn't worth the risk of contaminating other kiddos.  Besides, it'd be nice for him to enjoy himself as well.  Birthday parties suck when you're sick.  We had a halloween party planned already.  So for my next trick...pulling off a princess/halloween party!  I believe I'm up for the challenge!

She was concerned about the lack of cake.  Cupcakes just aren't the same when one is expecting the requested Sleeping Beauty cake.  But she perked up when she saw me setting the table for a tea party.  Her aunt and cousin were on their way in (they weren't scared of germ boy).  She'd have someone other than just her parents sing Happy Birthday to her.  Then her dad's bat phone rang.

She enjoyed her little tea party.  And more presents.  And very enthusiastically showed everything off to her dad when he came back home.  I think she's going to warm up to this "week long" birthday celebration pretty quick!

Such anticipation and awe on her face in the first shot. And happiness on the others. :)

Happy Birthday Little Princess. Hope your brother feels better soon.
